This week, I'm doing something a bit out of the ordinary...I'm picking a real person! Gasp! I don't usually pick real people because then I feel like I have to research all the philanthropists and otherwise-stellar women out there when really I just want to have a little fun recounting my favorite characters from TV, movies, and books. I made an exception for this actress because I keep on returning to the roles she's chosen.
So this week's choice is...Portia de Rossi!

One thing I've learned in this journey becoming a writer is that it's a bit of rollercoaster, at least for me. One day I'm flying high, one hundred percent sure that some day they're going to make a TV show out of my books. The next day, I'm down in the dumps, sure that no one in the entire world is reading and enjoying my books (something that I know isn't true--not that I'll let facts get in the way of my negativity once I'm down there).

My results are below.

Ok, this pick has been coming for a long time. Like a really long time. Like I'm surprised it wasn't the first pick for Women Crush Wednesday (except that I had Game of Thrones on the mind).
This week's choice is my first woman-crush ever: Buffy Summers of Buffy the Vampire Slayer (TV series and a movie...but mostly the TV series).

I'm not a patient person. In fact, you may even call me impatient (just ask my parents). But one thing I've learned through this whole writing extravaganza is that I have to be patient. Whether it's building a detailed world that readers can get lost in or editing my book to get it as perfect as possible (without over-editing--perfectionism is another one of my faults), it takes time. More time than I'd like. When it's going slow, I can get frustrated and stressed out, neither of which makes things go any faster.
