  5. Be sure and share with us the freelance gigs you get, so we can all rush out and digg, etc those pages and show your employers how popular a writer you are!

    Good luck with the new goals!

  9. Good for you, Meg. You’ve become a favorite read of both me and my beloved. And anyone who makes my sweetie happy is OK in my book. So:
    Love it! Go for you! (or something like that :-) )

  11. LOVE YOU! GO FOR IT!

    As someone who has recently lost 60 pounds and become fit(ter) in the last 5 months I must say that the personal satisfaction that one gets from that accomplishment makes everything else in life seem completely possible. It sounds so cliche, but being in decent shape, fitness wise, is a foundation for everything else. You can do it! I know you can!

  12. EX-CELL-ENT!!! gonna be a good year for you! Love you (of course) go for it (no hesitation) and enjoy every bit of it! (your enthusiasm is contagious, I think I might be inspired to do something too!)

  14. I just took a deep breath and ordered myself some (expensive!) MBT shoes. I’ll let you know how (if) they work out.

  18. 17 posts and no themes. Let me have a go. I’m in marketing, so I’m always thinking about marketability.

    From my narrow, exterior perspective, it seems to me that discovering that you couldn’t have kids (the old fashioned way, at least) was a profound incident over the past few years. You seem to have a done a lot of thinking, soul-searching and writing about it.

    Obviously there are plenty of other women experiencing similar disappointments. It’s not discussed a lot in our culture, but I think it’s profound for lots of them.

    So, that sounds like a great, challenging subject for a book of essays or stories. You’d want to do some research to find out what else is out there, obviously.

    I wouldn’t want you to write a bleak, maudlin book on the subject. Those probably already exist, and it probably wouldn’t be reflective of who you are.

    I expect that you could do an excellent job applying your wit and humour to this fraught but worthwhile subject. The book’s essential strength would be in that juxtaposition between tone and content. I’m not saying there wouldn’t be sad or serious bits, just that it wouldn’t be a Bleak Journey of Despair and Self-Loathing.

    This would obviously be a hard book to write. But, as the saying goes, if you hit all the time, the target’s too near.

  21. You not only CAN go for it, but you SHOULD go for it! I would buy whatever it was in a heartbeat, even if it was just a bound copy of your blog. There’s just something to be said for a hard copy, at least in my little world…

  24. Do you know that you look absolutely gorgeous in this pic? And that I wanna hug you?

    Ok, just a suggestion, I dunno – after each chapter in your book, add one of your love lists! If you have enough lists, keep one list on one page and your text on the other.

    I dunno if you’ll like the idea but knowing how much you like lists….
