I was cruising Craig’s List for writing jobs today and I came across this:
Who could say no to an offer like this?!
Yeah, as a matter of fact I did write a novel. It’s really awesome too. (If I do say so myself.) It’s funny and endearing and tells a good story and I actually think it would make a really cute romantic comedy starring Amy Adams, Bradley Cooper & Matt Bomer (or maybe Ryan Reynolds).
I’m working on the final(ish) edits and have been stalking following agents and editors on Twitter and reading Jeff Herman’s Guide to Book Publishers, Editors, and Literary Agents, but apparently I’ve been going about it completely wrong. I can just sell the rights to this guy on Craig’s List. For (up to) $200!
Wow! Ten (or okay, twelve) years of hard work sold for dinner and a movie. How could anyone say no to that?
On Saturday morning I was wasting time on the Internet pinning things to my Pinterest page. Inspiring sayings that look like this:
Wouldn’t you like a life like this?
Yummy food I really and truly do hope to make one day that looks like this:
Tuna and chickpea salad – sadly I’m the only person in the Ross household that would eat this!
I was also pinning pretty clothes I’d like to own. (BTW – I’d also like the life that goes with clothes like these!)
You can totally see me wearing this right? (No? Sigh…)
and this…
Adorable! Love those shoes.
and this…
Wouldn’t I look nice wearing this to my publisher’s office in NYC? (You know, if I had a publisher?)
and this…
Adorable!
not to mention these seriously cute brown boots…
My life will not be complete until I own these boots! (Click the picture if you want to find out how to buy them. They’re only $43.00!)
and finally this…
I cannot tell you how cute I’d look in this!
Then I left the house to drop Chandler off at the bus for his cross country meet and take Marley to her soccer game. This is what the the car thermometer said:
Hot hot hot
Yes, mid-September is still summer, people, and it’s usually Los Angeles’ hottest month. My poor kids. It’s way too hot to run 3 miles or to play soccer for an hour.
Ready to go with cool towels, Gatorade and plenty of water.
And even more importantly, poor me. How am I supposed to obsess over warm and cozy fall outfits that I cannot afford and have no place to wear in weather like this?
It’s just not right.
I’m curious… are you pinning on Pinterest? What do you like to pin? Follow my Pinterest page here. (I promise to follow you back!)
