Shits and Giggles

2 months gone by with no writing. This is a problem. Not wanting to get too bogged down in the day-to-day grind. Remembering that I promised myself that I would write something, anything, once a day. Maybe that was too ambitious. I would like to think not, but I digress.

Writing has taken an important role in my life. I am going to be married to a writer soon. She is grad school now, for writing. I find myself envious of her talent. She has the ability to mold words into a story that is funny and interesting. I like that about her. And it encourages me to extend myself. To try something new.

While reading the New Yorker one sunny, Sunday afternoon, she mused about what it would be like to have two writers in the family. She pointed to a picture of a woman that I did not recognize. She told me that she was a talented writer.

"She is married to Jonathan Safran Foer. A writer married to a writer. What would that be like?"

I am trying to imagine....
