The Real Sugar!


I must thank my fellow book blogging friend, Wallace at Unputdownables, for writing about this awesome lady over at her other writing gig, Book Riot.  In her recent post, Dear Sugar, Can't Wait to Meet You, I learned about this person, aptly named Sugar, who has been offering incredibly honest and helpful advice to individuals about a myriad of issues over at The Rumpus.  I read just two of her posts the other day and I was hooked.  The big thing with Sugar was that she was anonymous, but on Tuesday, she finally revealed her true identity.  HERE is the post detailing everything to do with her 'coming out.'  Oh, forgot to mention...her real name is Cheryl Strayed!

Here is one of her most awesome posts, in my opinion:

DEAR SUGAR, The Rumpus Advice Column #48: Write Like a Motherfucker

Believe me when I say, you're bound to find a post she has written that will speak to you on a very personal level.

  1. I am going to print out the last few lines of that blog:

    So write, Elissa Bassist. Not like a girl. Not like a boy. Write like a motherfucker.

    Yours,
    Sugar

    I am going to substitute my name in place of Elissa Bassists, and then I'm going to write. Like a motherclucker (sorry, my mom just moved in with the Hubs and I, so it's hard to type the mothereffer word, although I seem to have no problem copying and pasting it.) :)

Your comments mean a lot. I will mostly likely respond to them here in the comments. If you ask a specific question, I will try to respond in an email (if I can access your email through your blogger profile).

Please do not be offended, but this is an award free blog. While I appreciate the gesture, believe me when I say that your friendship is award enough. Thank you.
