Oh, but I'm writing fiction!
"Right, you and every other liberal arts major who thinks they're writing the great American novel." :)
I don't know why we wait for the green light when it comes to fulfilling a lifelong goal. Growing up, I've told countless people that I want to be a writer. I guess it's the "Grand Narrative" that psychologists talk about. But now, I'm actually trying to do it. That's a very scary step for me.
Because telling people, "I'm going to be a writer someday" is very different than showing them your writing and saying, "Well, here it is!"
Regardless of how scared I feel, however, I'm doing it. I'm writing a book. And I have 15 chapters so far...

I would read your wonderful words.
Also over the next while, I might be able to come visit!! Maurice works alot in Palo Alto and I am thinking about joining him on his weekend trips.
Awwww....we're in Provo again! But don't despair....we're moving to Palo Alto permanently next summer. Reed got a job with Apple!
Wow a job with Apple? Ok did I miss the blog that you moved to Provo? I was there last week! I would have visited!!! RRRR.
Congrats! I wish you the best. Just let me know when the book signing is in Boston. :) I'm very happy for you that you are fulfilling one of your life's goals. Kisses to baby Cal!
And it's an awesome book. Of course, I would expect nothing less! I can't wait to say, "I knew Megan Olsen when she was a preschooler..."
You go, girl! I can't wait to read it!
