Lately, I've been struggling with the fact that I'm not sure what it is that I'm supposed to be doing. All my life I assumed I'd be a writer. I enjoy writing and it's always come somewhat naturally to me. Some have even told me that I'm good at it, and I truly do feel that there is unlocked potential deep within me and that one day I can be the kind of writer people respect.
If I didn't write, I'm not sure what else I'd do. Sure, I'd find a way to pass the time, but nothing would be quite as enjoyable as the movement of pen on paper, the clicking of keyboard keys.
When I moved to New York, my goal was to be this generation's Carrie Bradshaw. Lord knows I'll never be as cool, fashionable, or gorgeous, but I wanted to believe that I could be an important voice for the masses. If only in real life there was a New York Star with an open column specializing in Jewish gals and Waspy duds.
This blog is a good start, but the real question is... If I wrote a book, would anyone actually buy it? And read it?
Perhaps I'll just write one and find out.

I would! Have you looked into freelance magazine writing? I did some of it when I was in college, and it was good experience
I would buy it...I love reading your posts!
You should totally do it... just to see what will come out of it... you never know!! xxooo
I would so buy your book if you wrote one. It would go perfectly with my collection of preppy books for my future coffee table. Good luck figuring things out!
i'll buy your book :) and we will advertise it in They Key!
I would definitely buy a book written by you! I know what you mean about writing, too... I've always felt the same way about it. And I'm not really sure I would enjoy doing anything else other than journalism/writing as a career...
congrats on the paying freelance gig. now go and spend all that $$ in one place :)
I am proud of you ! And yes my JGIWC I would read your book and someday know that I will xo
I would most certainly buy your book, especially if it incorporates words from the JGIWC Glossary into it, you could spur a new generation of fun lingo!
I can't wait to read your book :)
I enjoy your writing, but I know what you mean about not being really sure what you're supposed to do. I became a lawyer because I really didn't know what I wanted to do, all my friends say I'm funny and secretly I really want to be a comedian, but don't have the guts.
Good luck with your writing, I really enjoy your blog!!
I love that you quoted "a chorus line"! One of my favs of all time :)
