The Wishful Writer

http://thewishfulwriter.blogspot.com/

I blog. About all kinds of things. Like...I drink copious amounts of diet coke. I have an amazing girlfriend and a guitar I can't play. Her name is Bettye Ruth. My guitar, not my girlfriend. Her name is April. I have an aunt that gets crazy when she drinks and a cowgirl hat that makes me feel ten feet tall and bullet proof. One day I want to be famous writer girl. And to live in a place where my trashy 20-year old neighbor won't pull his Mustang onto the front lawn to unload his gaggle of kids.

Hello Heather. I've changed site address, yet again. I think it's because I was bored.

This is such a fun blog! Great to read you. I'm going to take a lesson from your example and start using pics the way you do - they just enhance your writing all the more and make your blog come alive. PS Love the hat, cowgirl. cgn

Enjoyed reading your blog, I'm looking forward to seeing the finished bathroom pictures as we did ours a couple of years ago so we know what you are going through. We spent 3 weeks showering in a canvas gazebo on the patio - just hope yours doesn't go on for so long - I don't recommend it:-)

So this girl Heather is someone I haven't met. But she is my pal, so my review is a bit one-sided. I get a sense about Heather - who she is and what she stands for - from her unabashed writing style. She's a camera for her home, her relationship, her neighborhood and the people that flow in and out of her life and most importantly, for herself. We get to see her tonsils and how she looks in her pajamas, but with that little extra Heatherish twistaroo. Her side woman, April, is lovingly and teasingly depicted. I assume April has infinite patience, and not just with the dog peeing into the floor vent. I look forward to Heather's blog posts every day and how she returns the compliment when she reads and comments on mine.

This is a very well written blog, that has had me crying with laughter. The mundane becomes marvelous when Heather blogs about it.

One of the blogs I read daily, the standard never slips. Heather is friendly and welcoming, which will encourage you to stay around for a while to see what else she has to say. One read and you'll be hooked.

As long as you lock up your toothbrush, don't shave her dog, or misquote a saying, you will be safe from this amazing writer. Unfortunately, not everyone is as fortunate as that, which makes all of us very lucky.

This gal is going somewhere, and it is going to be fast, so hook into this blog now and set the trend and be the first few to say, "I knew her before she sold books."

I like this blog very much...indeed, I think I have broken my rating's 'virginity' in leaving this rating (if you'll pardon the ratings repetition!)...This lass knows how to write, and writes with wit, impunity, wisdom and a large slice of irony.

It baffles me that there are so many wonderful writers on Blogs who are not paid. Yet the ones who claim to be published writers are dreadful!

If, perhaps, we all clicked on each others Google Ads, we'd be multi-millionaires - ha!

Well done, Heather...I raise my own glass of Diet Coke to you!

This is one of my "skip the newspaper to read this instead" blogs.

It is refreshingly funny, but can also be very sweet. She has the power to make you comfortable and cozy with her style of story telling and leaves you craving more. You will always want to hear the next thing that happens to her.

I eagerly await her return from vacations and short trips because I know there is a "story" to be told. Everyone is fair game, but they all still love her anyway. She even takes a few shots at herself, which is a brave and rare thing to do.

When a writer can take a mundane story about brushing your teeth, that will make you cry from laughing, you know you want to be her friend. Read this blog and walk away with a smile and a warm feeling.

Heather is a loving lady and a charming writer. She has such capable words to draw you in and make you feel as if you have known her for yearts. A true talent. I am so glad I stopped by for a visit. I highly recommend reading her work.
Please visit me anytime and bring along April and Mamaw. Cheers!
