Andrea Rants: Insights, Thoughts, and Opinions

MY thoughts, insights and opinions on things in MY life. I'm not asking for your judgment. Enjoy...or not.

Name:
Location: Chicago, Illinois, United States

Corporate America 12 year veteran. I've held positions ranging from Customer Service to Sr. Manager to Assistant Vice President of Marketing. Novelist. I've always written. My first book was penned (or rather, penciled) at the tender age of six, and every moment since, I have been writing this short story or that novel. My first novel is a work of fiction: Her Essence, a Mystery/Thriller. I am in the process of writing my first non-fiction book, which incorporates my life coaching methodologies and philosphies as well as other thrillers: Taming Roland, About Bryant, and the sequel to Her Essence.

French Thoughts

So, the French Open has begun. I love this time of year. I did miss the Australian Open, but I kept up with it via internet, as I tend to do. Amelie Mauresmo won the women's and Roger Federer the men's title for the French and Swiss respectively.

I love tennis. It's my dream vacation to attend a full grand slam, attending the Australian, French, Wimbeldon and US Open. It consumes my entire spring/summer. Ahh life.

Right now, Venus Williams is winning her first round, and is said to be the favorite for the Americans (lots of injuries, including her sister Serena). I was impressed with Mashona Washington up until a point. She flaked out, forgetting who she was playing against and allowied her ego onto the court. Mashona was up 5-2 and lost the set 7-5, and thus the match. Washington was ranked 97 and Sharapova 4. And she was way ahead and lost the match. It hurt, and I wasn't even there. I hadn't heard a lot about Washington before this match, but I expect to hear more soon.

Anyhow, I wrote my NY agent, to gauge his interest given that I haven't sent him a new manuscript, and he wrote the sweetest letter back. (I think I'm in love!) Anyhow, I'm going to leave you to your own devices as I get back to business and deliver said promised wonderful manuscript to my NY agent. Watch tennis, practice yoga. Venus won in two sets.
