Welcome. You may have been wondering what I've been up to since I last dabbled in the world of blogging. You may have been worried that I was hospitalized with a severe case of Writer's Block, or you may not even have noticed that I was gone. Well, Reader, whatever the case may be, I have resurfaced and I'm finally ready to share my thoughts with you again.
What have I been up to, you ask. Besides graduating, getting married, navigating US immigration laws and curbing my TopShop addiction, I've been busy trying to become the writer I know I want to be. After months of feeling like every word I wrote stared at me as though I was not worthy of its presence, I finally decided it was time to get my shit together.
Now I spend my days cranking out chapters of my first young adult novel, while consuming unreasonable amounts of green tea and blueberries. See, Reader, the beautiful thing about being a writer is that you can show up to the office (aka the couch) still wearing your pajamas. You can write in complete darkness, Google ridiculous things for no apparent reason (you're researching, right?) and if the phone rings you don't have to answer because you're feeling 'inspired'. In between my novel writing, I intend on making regular posts here, but let's face it, Reader, I am the Master of Procrastination and I rule the Land of Distraction.
In this blog I will present a series of letters that I would love to send to people, but never will. You see, Reader, I'm not a person who enjoys confronting people. I will happily point out that your fly is open or that you have spinach in your teeth, but rarely will I tell you what is really on my mind. In this blog, you will be able to find out what I would say to a number of people if I had the guts and the stamps to send them a letter.
Finally, I would like to thank you, Reader, for sticking to your role so well. I'm sorry I drifted from mine for a while, but I appreciate your persistence. As long as you are around to read, I will write. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to get back to the office.
With Love,
Ina
About Me

- I took my first steps in Norway, did my first load of laundry in London and found the love of my life on MySpace. I have a degree in Creative Writing (or Bullshit, as I like to call it), and I intend to use it for good. In the next couple of years, I hope to see my books on display at Barnes and Noble, my screenplay in the hands of Zach Braff and my laundry all clean and folded in my closet. I'm a little girl with big plans. And I love blueberries. Oh, by the way, it's pronounced Eena. Yeah. Eena.
Hey woman, I love your letters. I was one of those people who wondered where you went :)
ReplyDeleteThank you for your awesome advice. The other thing that I love that Hemingway said was that writing is easy. You just sit down at a typewriter and bleed. :)
