Unconfirmed Bachelorette, a/k/a Ella, is a forty-something-year-old lawyer who would rather be a writer. She heeded the advice of her parents, however, and got a business degree, to be followed later with a J.D. So as it turns out, she gets paid for her writing, even if it is only of the legal persuasion.
Unconfirmed Bachelorette has never been married, but she’s been engaged 1.5 times. She began this blog as a way of venting her frustrations with betrothed number two, which morphed into a post-mortem on the demise of that relationship. Currently, after many months of blogging through the breakup, her writing has become an account of the pain and joy she experiences as she gets on with the business of living.
Unconfirmed Bachelorette resides in Austin, Texas with her two fluffy, black rescue kitties. She enjoys hiking, running (if you can call her turtle pace running), sushi, and drinking moderate amounts of red wine with her girlfriends. And coffee. Really good coffee. And sharp knives, her favorite of which is her tomato knife. (Yes, she has a knife dedicated strictly to the cutting of tomatoes.) She also enjoys the use of incomplete sentences.

Nice to meet you. Writing is such a hard profession, but some of “us” have no choice but to do it. I have a love/hate relationship with it …

Thanks so much for stopping by. Glad to meet you, too. Yes, I am powerless against writing. Luckily, it’s a habit I don’t have to kick.

Hi!! I created a comment section, as we talked about. I didn’t add it to my profile, but made a separate tab. Take a look! Cheers, Gail http://300wordlimit.com/comments/

Neat! You’re very wordPress proficient. I still need to read the manual.

Thanks for stopping by my blog and liking a post. I didn’t read much during Nov and Dec so am a bit behind but just popped over here and read your “about” section. I have been touched by your writing. I felt a connection to you but we have come from family backgrounds about as opposite as they come so it puzzled me a bit. Then I read your “about” section and it could in many ways be me! Parents pushed the accounting degree- I would have been a completely incompetent accountant- went to law school, always loved to write, lived in Austin 12 years, run very slowly, had two rescue dogs, love coffee and wine. I wonder what our lives would be like had we been switched at birth! I admire your honest struggle in the midst of a family with so many challenges. Blessings.

You’re very welcome. I quite enjoyed it. You were in Austin for 12 years–lucky you! Sometimes as I write, I think it all seems so over-the-top. After a while, it’s largely like water off a duck’s back. Perhaps I’m not accurately conveying how well I’m coping. But I suppose it’s all relative.
Now if I had become an accountant (my major before I switched to general business), it might be a different story. Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you so much, Gail! I’m so pleased you’re enjoying my blog. Yours is terrific and I feel so much resonance. Now I need to go figure out how to properly accept.

February 4, 2013 at 8:13 pm
But of course! Thank you for stopping by mine! Been wanting to tell you, I would be super upset if aliens gave my cat a beard. And now, I’m off to do some dead bug. Perfect for my mood.
