MY LIFE IN A NUTSHELL

Tuesday November 25, 2008 • filed Filed under: Reading/Writing

Last night I was talking with Marci about Sex and the City and Grey’s Anatomy, and how Carrie & Big are essentially Meredith & Derek, or vice versa really since SATC came first. Marci is not a big fan (to put it mildly) of how fuc– erm, complicated, these relationships are, yet how they are protrayed as true love. I told her that as someone who has had 2-3 breakups or breaks or whatever you want to call them with my current boyfriend, I was hardly in a position to judge. However, in my relationship, no cheating was involved. Mostly it was miscommunication, and/or being 20 years old.

Anyway, what I realized today is that my relationship with Andy is by no means the most fuc– ahem, complicated, relationship I’m in. May I present to you…

Writing a Novel: A Love Story

It’s not The Notebook, but it’s pretty darn accurate. It’s also not written by me, but read it anyway.

    But I like The Notebook!!! Maybe because it wasn’t as drawn out as the TV shows. Or because I think Ryan Gosling is beautiful.

    That blog was pretty funny.

    Oh yeah, sorry, I wasn’t trying to imply that The Notebook was like SATC or Grey’s! And yes, haha, Ryan Gosling IS beautiful.

    I love the final draft. “Look, I’m just gonna come out with it. This–you, me–it’s not working. I’m sorry. It’s not you, it’s…actually it’s you. You’re stupid. And I sort of hate you.”

    So which revision month are you in?

    Er, haha, technically, or based off how many more I have to go?? :P

    Actually, don’t ask.
