After ten years of writing and taking classes, I missed the things I used to love to do. Then marketing, and, well all of you know the dance to life of a writer. I resisted my muse's nagging to begin book two. I failed. Book two is at the publisher and I'm still hoping to get my old life back. LOL. Blessings.F.

You would never get me on one, not on your life. But here I am riding this writing/publishing roller coaster. And with no attention of getting off. Go figure. Anyways, let's hope none of us ever decide we want to get off this ride. And congrats about your book release!Lidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04185947128989933152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7760014651173370020.post-69211347522252881752015-09-02T23:22:05.125-04:002015-09-02T23:22:05.125-04:00It is a roller coaster.
