An Open Letter To Everyone Who’s Been Emailing Me Asking About How I “Made It” As A Blogger.

Dear Everyone Who’s Been Emailing Me
Asking About How I “Made It” As A Blogger,

First, thank you for writing in
for my A.sk Ross series on Hello Giggles.

Secondly,
I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE FUCK YOU’RE TALKING ABOUT.

Seriously, I don’t. I don’t know how you define “making it”,
but I’ve always defined it as having money, a housekeeper,
time to wash my hair & owning a membership to a country club
where I can Lucille Bluth-out all fucking day.

Other things that could define “making it”:

• Health Insurance
• Dental Insurance
• Pet Insurance
• A psychologist available to me on GChat
• An area outside my residence that has green grass
• Affording wine over $4 on a daily basis
• An extended warranty on my car
• An electric toothbrush

At this juncture in time,
I have none of those things.
In fact, what you call “making it”,
I call “spending my life savings trying to stay afloat”.

If you would like information
on how to barely survive,
I can definitely help you there:

Date someone successful & learn not to love clothes so much.

There you go. Good luck.

Love,
Marissa

Lolz, so true. Either way making it or nit your blog spot is a nice getaway from the reality of not having all those things. *sigh!

You are definitely “making it” when you have health and dental insurance.

Love the Arrested Development reference! When I think of “making it,” I think of the Bluths. <3 your blog! (so sad you don't have an electronic toothbrush though!)

Hahaha, I appreciate your honesty. You know this could be titled “How To Make It In Television Production” or more recent of my scenerio “How To Make It and Just Scrape By”. Uuuugh. Lucille Bluth, heh heh. She has my favorite chicken dance.
