“Julia Allison wants to be a successful writer, which would include being famous as a side effect.”
I want to be a famous writer (someday.)
Does this mean I should plagiarize in college, court VCs, write a blog with my boyfriend (and then out him as being bipolar after our tearful breakup), fly out to lavish LA and Las Vegas parties where I don’t do much of anything, rub elbows with rich heiresses and media moguls, become a starfucker, send in salacious gossip about myself to Gawker, pose “sexy” in a bunch of photos (wait, I already did that), and then start a “lifecasting” site with my CRAZY friends in order to be recognized as famous for… my writing?
Look, I don’t know the girl. I’m sure most of the above is “hype”. But if she wants to just be known for writing, girlfriend sure doesn’t act the part. Or, um, write much.
She’s certainly getting attention, though. There’s a lot of handwringing on Tumblr, but a Wired cover and a Bravo reality show is nothing to sneeze at. Whatever she does want, it looks like she’s getting it. I just kinda doubt writing is really on the “goal” list. Or maybe she doesn’t want to be a famous writer — maybe she wants to be famously written about, which is a big difference.
I always enjoy reading your posts, and the lengthy ones are even FUNNIER!! This one rocked my world today. I follow the girls too… and find your post hilarious today! Thanks for the laugh… just when I needed it!
