I took a step forward in my quest to be a writer last night. The local newspaper (like most) has an online partner. I noticed that this website invites members of the community to be columnsists. If approved, you can submit your column weekly, bi-weekly or monthly. The only downside is that I won't get paid to write the column.
I proposed a column called "Maybe, Maybe Not" to be written bi-weekly. This site already has two other women writing columns on being single and dating. Neither seems to be writing updated columns anymore and both were a completely different voice than mine.
My column will be the thirty-something single gal's life experiences with my special cynical slant. Think Sex and The City meets Elaine from Seinfeld. No silly pep talks. No religious coaching. Just the honest truth. You and I may never meet "The One." We may be single for life. But instead of waiting around for something that may not happen, LIVE YOUR LIFE! Celebrate YOU. Life is way too short to wait and hope for stuff to just happen to you.
Oh, plus I'll share all my really unbelieveably crappy dating experiences! That alone is worth the bookmark!Click here to read my first column!

Gimme a high five on the dating stories!!! Bwa ha ha ha!
Take exception to the inference that being religious is being unreasonable.
But high five!
No, being religious is not being unreasonable. I meant that the other woman's column is completely about her confidence that she will be married with children -- no matter what. That she is positive that's the path G-d has chosen for her.
No one knows what path G-d or fate has chosen for us. Perhaps G-d has another purpose for her. THAT'S where I come in as the voice of reason. To say WE are good enough -- even if we never marry!
