Why blog?

Some ask why I started this blog. Well, it happens that my life has changed dramatically since early 2002 when I was just a 26-year-old editor in the CondeNast building in Times Square, which is home to the staffs of Glamour, Allure, Bon Appetite, Vanity Fair, Vogue, Teen Vogue, GQ, Architectural Digest, Details, Epicurious, Lucky, Golf World and Golf Digest magazines and the list is always growing as they acquire new publications. My life changed because of the accident that I described in yesterday's post and it literally put me in a 10-day coma, shattered my elbow and scrambled my brain. Thank goodness for helmets. To this day, if I see a biker not wearing a helmet, I'll politely tell them they should ALWAYS wear one because if I hadn't been wearing a helmet when I crashed, I would not be alive today .I've even lectured grade schoolers about it to emphasize importance of wearing a helmet. Pass it on. My end goal with this blog is to give some form or format to my story so I can figure out how to use my story to create a must-read memoir about my experience. I'm open to ideas and suggestions about how to do so and what details to include. So PLEASE SHARE YOUR ADVICE. Maybe you're not a professional writer but you are a consumer and reader whose opinion COUNTS! Thank you. Email: gabstud@gmail.com. Happy Saturday y'all. Evidence that I was an Irongirl-in-training.
