really, what's the difference between playing a writer and being one when the writer you're playing can't write?

Sarah Jessica Parker Turns To Writing

Sex and the City star Sarah Jessica Parker is swapping acting for writing, after taking inspiration from journalist character Carrie Bradshaw.

The actress has just recently finished the last ever episode of the hit TV series and has already started penning her first novel.

She says, "I've written about half of it already and I'm looking for a publisher who will take it.

"The basic story is about an over-the-hill TV actress who gets a shot at a comeback, but lies about everything from her age to her acting credentials. Then, one by one, they all come out."

And Sarah has even bigger plans, she adds, "I would like to write full-time, but who knows what the future holds? It would be fun to turn this book into a movie, too."
