PINKBUNNIESLIPPERS

TodayI realized I miss my show Starting Over a whole bunch. I won't go into too much detail for those who have not seen it but it was mainly a group of women in a house that worked on their issues. Issues ranged from debt, divorce, fear, memory loss to well you name it. The show was an inspiration. It was my own life coach. It was my cheerleader when T. was unable. It makes me sad it's gone as sometimes you just need that motivation from an outside source to kick you in gear, to tell you to go find your bliss. Not that sitting in my cubical does not thrill me although it IS smaller then a prison cell and there food is provided. I mean my co workers range from amusing, funny, sweet, sarcastic, psychotic and downright scary. The fact we have free parking thrills me. But is this enough? I am trying to get my courage back to stand up and look around me. To start moving to what I will be not staying at what I am right now. I have always wished I could be one of those people that says "I always wanted to be...." but so many things and so little time.
I have always love to write but am grammatically challenged. I do have a novel started (the shortest one in history of the printing press) and hope I will get that courage to finish it.

I will give you my formula for writing a chic lit book**:

Pick a city: NYC, London, LA
Pick a career: publishing assistant, public relations, writer = in any case must state in no uncertain terms extremely underpaid
Pick an age: mid 20's, late 20's, desperate and mortified slightly over 30.
Pick a primary character status: A "Mary" or a "Rhoda"
Pick a relationship status: blindly dating everything, uncomfortably single, handsome boss/goofy best friend who is a boy, unhappily married in the thros of 2nd guessing marriage
Pick an outcome: find true love in most unlikely place (right in front), reunite with husband with a sudden eye opening experience... along with sudden high flung career advancement or change

**please keep in mind I am a chic lit reading fanatic.
