Dragonflies, Butterflies & Lady Bugs

Oprah Bound?

Okay, Diaryland friends, this entry is specifically aimed towards you, though of course I expect my friends who've seen my face in the flesh may want to reply to this too...

A very old friend of mine and I were having a conversation today about me publishing a book. She is convinced that I could bundle together my entries, a la TranceJen and get them published. Really, I should hire her as my professional cheerleader/manager because she has way more faith in me than I do. She's not the first person to suggest this to me, but she is the most recent and maybe the most strident.

Anyway, I contend that the reason my writing is so interesting to her is that she has known me forever. I further contend that I know there are many way better diarists out there, many of whom are on my buddy list, and that blogs are very big right now, so the market would be competitive.

I'm afraid this seems to be an entry trolling for compliments, and it's not, though I can probably lump it in with my recent wonderings about why people read my journal. Anyway.

This is where you come in, Diaryland friends (and any others who read this, but don't get to see my pearly whites in person): What do you think? Is there a spot for me on Oprah as nygypsy believes, or should I continue to pursue writing fiction and pray I can sell something there?
