With hardly more than minutes inbetween, that they reason out both how they can and will become a published author and that the dream could never happen.<br />I've started the day at both ends of this spectrum. I find it amusing that whereever I start something always crops up during the day to send me speeding in the opposite direction.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459671422564355990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302980868146183599.post-42749126288886703822009-09-10T17:51:16.580-04:002009-09-10T17:51:16.580-04:00Take the rough with the smooth.

You're a writer through and through, and that's the way it will always be. If you intend to be published, then I'm sure you will be. Simple. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302980868146183599.post-5195570481123635152009-09-10T08:55:04.753-04:002009-09-10T08:55:04.753-04:00This is a great way to remind yourself why you'...This is a great way to remind yourself why you're writing and why you are good at it.

We all have strengths and we all have weaknesses and we just have to hope that the strengths will win out.<br /><br />And I LOVED the bit about your imagination being misunderstood as lying when you were little. My 5-year-old has been coming home and telling me whoppers about what happened at school. I'll just have to remind myself that she's not lying, she just has a great imagination!Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00861022355718378425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3302980868146183599.post-46854132453313519262009-09-09T08:46:24.499-04:002009-09-09T08:46:24.499-04:00NOW I KNOW what those "tweets" are all a...NOW I KNOW what those "tweets" are all about =)<br />You know how I feel about this and that we go through similar feelings of I don't want to say self doubt but I guess, am I really doing the right thing, is this what I'm supposed to be doing with my life...
