THEY'RE IN THE BLOG

The Newsday article today in the part 2 section really gave credence to everything I have recently been preaching to my family, friends and just about anyone who would listen about my newfound pastime. I am addicted to the blog. I love writing in it, reading other blogs,surfing and linking my way through web-links and blog-links. I read blogs from anonymous writers and those interested in getting my business. I read blogs that educate, entertain and make me think. This new fascination I have is rooted of course in trying to expand my career horizons, but it has seemed to have evolved into more. As the article indicates blogging can sometimes be the way to fame and fortune. Although I can't ever see myself adding a webcam to this blog; one industrious young lady got herself quite widely known for such antics. Another young lady, a lawyer in fact, quit her law firm and hooked up with a publisher she met through her blog and now writes for a living. The truth be told if any publisher found my writing interesting and wanted me to drop the law and write for a living, it would be something I would do in a heart beat. Yes, I have fantasies about being the guest writer on "Oprah" after she picked my book for her book club. Woman to woman we talk about all the things I have written about and Oprah praises me for being wife, mother, lawyer and writer all in one. Wow! She thinks I'm so fantastic!! I know we all feel that we have the Great American Novel within us and most of us have at least one or two unfinished "works of art" right on our computers; but folks, I know I am destined for Oprah's couch...(so to speak...And not to jump upon)! So listen up out there.....All publishers interested in an all around great catch of a writer(" Put me in coach, I'm ready to play....today...")....Keep reading right here, you won't be disappointed. I'll try to write again between car pools and trials. Oprah, stay on the air until I get there....It may be a while, I have a 16 year old who wants his permit and driving lessons; a 6 year old who needs her pinata filled for her birthday party, some chili in the crockpot......
