Dating Drew
Written by Shana in Jaunty Post
So Ultimate Sportsfan stepped away from the TV for a few minutes the other night—amazing considering that the Astros were playing—and I immediately jumped on the couch, snagged the remote, and turned the channel. I started watching this documentary about this guy who wanted to go on a date with Drew Barrymore. I think it was called My Date with Drew.
I should say that I don’t really watch TV very often because I’m more of a doer than an observer, and I get bored watching TV. This is probably a good thing. Otherwise there would be daily fights over the remote, being that USF wants to watch sports pretty much non-stop and I want to watch sports pretty much never.
So I started watching this documentary, and it was really cute. If you haven’t seen it, I won’t ruin the end, but it turned out to have a great message: “if you don’t take risks, you’ll have a wasted soul.”
Wow. I’m not sure what a wasted soul is, but I can certainly agree with taking risks. I’m not much of a risk-taker, but every once in a while something matters enough to me, and I go for it.
Becoming a successful published writer is at the top of that list. That was and is my date with Drew.
So maybe you don’t care about dating Drew Barrymore, but everyone has a dream, right? Everyone has something that they’re willing to risk it all for. What’s your date with Drew?

I’m with you, Shane. Writing has always been my professional goal. In that category, I’ve always wanted to have a good reputation as a writing instructor as well and have a good reputation as a writer with other writers. I guess peer approval is important to me. I would love to be a romance star, but more important than that I want to be proud of the work I’m doing. Proud of my books and my writing.

I have to agree that writing is my goal.
If someone came upto me and said they loved my book but wouldn’t publish it unless I dressed up like a chicken and stalled rush-hour traffic..you can bet your bottoms I’d be out there flapping away. So I suppose you could say that I’d take as many risks that are out there to reach my goal. BTW pretty please don’t make me dress up haha.
