Sonia sat down in the guidance counselor's office, ready to explain
her future. She was going to be a writer, she announced. All she
had to do was finish high school, go to college, and then get a job
of some kind - something that would give her a source of income.
Then, she continued, on the weekends, except for those weekends
when she had soccer practice (because there was no chance she
was giving that up), and as long as her friends didn't invite her to
go out partying, she would write the great American novel. As
Sonia finished triumphantly and looked up for approval, the
guidance counselor frowned.
