It was a lot of fun having you in the jungle with us today Jamie…thank you for sharing your wisdom about “Nothing.” Vicki, keep pushing your cp to write because she may be as an author that I might fall in love with too…I have discovered so many new ones hanging out in the jungle…

Peace and love,
Paula R.

I just stopped by your bog as I’m on your newsletter.
It was fund to read - I’m not a writer; more encourage writers and buy their books.
Thought you’d enjoy a visitor.

Welcome Jamie,

Sorry I am late for today’s blog (tomorrow’s is going up soon) but I was shopping for a christmas ornament. Found the perfect one.

Really great post! Write and write and write.

Funny thing is my cp said today that before she knew all the rules she could write without any problems. Now she’s stopping to think, should I do this? Can I do that? I told her to write the book and go back and fix it afterwards.

I’m sending her the link to this.

Thanks so much!!

And oh yeah, your books are way HOT!

Cher, I’d love to squelch my own sniggly, bitchy internal editor! :
Jamie, you’re absolutely right! We all need to remember the KISS theory: Keep it Simple Stupid!!!

You are waaaay too kind, Julie. My head is going to start casting a shadow over this blog if you keep it up, LOL.

And I have read EAT PRAY LOVE and ADORED it. I read it after I wrote SEX AS A SECOND LANGUAGE though so unfortunately didn’t get to use it as research. I remember wishing I’d read it first because it did such a fabulous job of capturing the spirit of Italy, and there were some details I’d have loved to borrow. I spent some time in Italy, but it was years ago so my memory wasn’t nearly as fresh as hers.

I can’t recommend Liz Gilbert’s book enough. It think it was a big part of saving my sanity last year. I went to see her speak in person when she was on tour for the book, and she’s just as charming and funny in person as she is in print.

Julie - my mom has been trying to get me to read Eat, Pray, Love but I’ve put it off and haven’t gotten it yet. It just hasn’t called my name loudly enough.

As for the no sex….at least none that she’s admited to!

An honest introduction…every word!

BTW, Jamie is also the Queen of Titles. She’s forever coming up with great ones for all of us. Multi-talented, this woman!

I also meant to ask you…have you read EAT, PRAY, LOVE by Elizabeth Gilbert? I’m reading the section now where she’s decided to live in Rome for four months only to experience pleasure (but alas, no sex…silly woman) and maybe it’s because I just read SEX AS A SECOND LANGUAGE, but she highlights a few places that you mentioned in your book, too and I wondered if you used her book for research…’cause now that I’ve read your book and hers, I want to go to Rome!
