Have I ever mentioned that I know a real life fiction
writer? Meaning, I am one degree from
this person versus, say three degrees from Kevin Bacon*.
A producer I worked with on an advertising campaign also
wrote an entire freaking book. I knew
she had gone to grad school for creative writing, but I didn’t know that in
addition to putting in 18 hour days while pregnant she had a side gig in the
works too.
When Everything Lovely, Effortless, Safe by Jenny Hollowell came out, I was first in line
to get it. Perhaps because 1% of me
thought that there would be at least one paragraph about my total mismanagement
of our joint project. (Due to copious
amounts of editing on your behalf dear reader, I do not delve into frustrations
of that 4 year old project here. This
commentary would have had no reflection on the wonderful work of Jenny and
everything to do with Corporate America.)
You know I love a book with great character development, so
this book is IT. Buy it and read it.
