Adrianne- you will be well known someday and you have made the leap ! Whatever you do don’t quit yoga it will be your inner sanctuary and this place will bring out your flow, best of luck!

Adrienne! I am very excited for you. This is exactly how I started my writing career. I had a little bit of money from being laid off and I took the leap of faith. Unless you’re independently wealthy, that’s pretty much it’s going to go. There’s never a good time. So go rock that sh*t!

we are going to miss adrianne at PRX like you cannot imagine: her dirty jokes, her really loud laff, how she spills things on important guests, the questionable hygiene, the drinking…she has made a powerful lasting impression.

If they’re 6-6.5% or lower, keep them.

WHY HAVEN’T YOU EMAILED ME BACK, DAMNIT?!?!?!?!

Heh. But alas, Wells Fargo loans are hardly low interest.

If I do this whole grad school thing, it would appear that the Mathiowetz sisters can’t keep jobs :) Not for too long, at least.

On another note, that stuff about marketing and writing is truest thing I’ve read in a long time. Marketing sucks the life out of you.

On another last note: I will fly out to Boston and kick your ass if you pay back low interest student loans with your refund. You should finance more things with those!!! (Like how I plan to re-finance my car with grad loans. I get tingly just thinking about the money I’ll save!!! Thanks for the interest free ride, uncle sam!!!)

Not that you asked, but as someone impartial (e.g., outside your circle of acquaintances), and as someone who has been reading your blog posts almost daily for what, something like three years(?), I can honestly think of no other writer more deserving of a quote-unquote “legitimate” writing career. And if “legitimate” means “published,” then by all means, publish and publish and publish. You got style, Kid, and a generally amusing train of thought: Get it out there! Best of luck to you…

Congrats! That is inspiring!

I always told myself that the thing that would make me happy would be to work at a job where I was helping people and making a difference.

Then I got one. Wrongo! At least now I know. Now I think the same thing– that writing will make me happy. I hope we’re both right, for our sakes.
