Absolutely! I know it'll take some time. Better to start now than never start, though.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

Do it now, P-C. I always thought I'd write books, but now I'm afraid I'm running out of time. I have some nonfiction books in mind, and I'm wondering if I could do something like put up a blog or tumbler and start posting pieces as I write them. The pieces would be write-ups of interviews and the like, which probably wouldn't end up in that exact form in the book.
I've also always wanted to write for The Smithsonian and The New York. I'd also like a pony.

Do it! *enables*

The pony can be your editor.

Because books.
DO IT, GINGER.
And I will send you a pony!

Of course you could! And it would be awesome!
P.S. Don't let the pony use your laptop - hooves can be hell on a keyboard.

So tumblr or blog? Now I'm reading that blogs are so 2011.

Go, Tumblr! Choose Tumblr!
Or set up a blogspot (blogger? whatever) blog and direct your Tumblr to it. Two birds.
(That would work, right? I have mine set up the other way -- one of the pages of my blog leads to my Tumblr. The blogging platforms give you more editing options.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Ginger, whichever way you choose, post here to point us to it, please.

Ginger, I will subsidize the pony, WRITE!
PC I'm so excited for you! Also, Amy is very wise.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yes, please, Ginger, write. You have an amazing way with words and I want more of them.
And go for it, pc, just make your goals the part you have control over so you don't get discouraged. By this time next year, I will have completed x and submitted to x, etc.
