I'm not much of a sap, but since turning 30, things are slowly starting to change. My husband is a sap in disguise, and now has joined me in my unconditional love of "rom-coms."<br />I have no idea how to get published in "the real world" so I am anxious to learn from your experience. In academia, it's a process, and if it is a peer review one, you see a lot of egos collide. It's not so fun to watch people decimate your work out of jealousy, that's why being an editor appeals to me, I think my process would be very different. Like CWS said above, it's quite interesting to watch people's reactions when I tell them what I do for a living. "So you write novels/movies? Are you an author, a screenwriter?" people reply when I tell them I write about movies/TV and popular culture. It's a hoot.Anthro Bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15923838563131831044noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-62281888885945731862013-06-27T16:56:22.629-03:002013-06-27T16:56:22.629-03:00you forgot fashionista!you forgot fashionista!Coulda shoulda wouldahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507021618497645667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-53207337075142957132013-06-27T16:20:17.980-03:002013-06-27T16:20:17.980-03:00All in Heathrow????

I don't remember Love, Actually that well, but there are some sappy movies I like (The Notebook, for example, help, why?! lol). There are others, too. I probably liked Love, Actually, actually, even if I can't remember it!<br /><br />I'm glad your last get-together was so good!catehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17121234545386465542noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8140814948262466589.post-69365708068529432192013-06-27T14:14:43.183-03:002013-06-27T14:14:43.183-03:00Hi Wendy - how kind of your blog friend to give yo...Hi Wendy - how kind of your blog friend to give you some tips.
