Smart and Cool Friends: Diary of Why
This is the first of a weekly series. Each Friday, I’ll write about one of my friends’ blogs and tell you why you should be reading it, too. To kick things off, I’ll start with one of the blogs I’ve been reading the longest.
My friend Rachel, whom I’ve known since high school, has an amazing way with words over on her blog, Diary of Why. Just back from a seven-day trip to Spain, she’s returned to Paris with some photos and stories that are not to be missed.
Each entry starts with “Why”, and her blog’s tagline is “Questions without answers, and answers to questions that nobody asked.” It’s a great format, one I think I subconsciously stole from her a couple times.
Her stories are at once hilarious, heartbreaking, insightful, and always interesting. She’s one of the few people I know who keeps up with her blog in an intelligent, engrossing way that inspires me to step up my own writing.
Earlier this month, she wrote a jaw-dropping story called “Why I’ve gone from Mary Poppins to Cinderella” about baby-sitting for a rather tightly-wound Parisian woman with an expensive apartment and fancy floors. She takes the reader by the hand and walks through the entire ordeal in a manner that has you dying to find out what happens next. This is the sort of blog that should be compiled into a bestselling book and then optioned for a blockbuster movie.
So click on over to Diary of Why for some reading on your Friday afternoon!
