Sex In The City And The Aspiring Writer

What is it about Sex In The City reruns that make us romance writers get into character? Not just any character mind you.... but Carrie Bradshaw.

Carrie is the epitome of a successful writer. New York flat, lunch, dinner and/or cocktails with her equally as successful and bougie friends, and the ability to shop in boutiques for Melano Blanik sky-high heels. (sigh)

It's the life all romance writers dream of. We feel that once we get "the call", we will be able to quit our day-jobs and just write until our hearts are content.

The reality of the situation is far less glamorous, I assure you. I work about 12 hours a day and struggle just to find time for my own creative writing. So with each re-run of Sex In The City that I watch, I dream of the day when my companies are making enough revenue that I can afford the time to delve into my own writers coma, then take my royalties to the closest boutique and blow it on expensive shoes.

So, my fellow Carrie Bradshaw wanna be's, Let's raise a glass to aspirations, Cosmopolitans, and re-runs that allow our imaginations to soar!
