I came to the decision that I was done, finished, going to find another way to make a living. Then I took a deep breath and started thinking about how I could rewrite the last scene. When I realized that for someone who'd 'quit' writing I still couldn't turn it off. The only alternative was to keep moving forward. Later that week I received the Call that a publishing house wanted my first book. :-)Mary Buckhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01268927678173047914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5083633325209012024.post-64291293530329586662014-08-24T13:36:33.126-04:002014-08-24T13:36:33.126-04:00Hey Lynda ~ waving at you from the summer cool PNW...Hey Lynda ~ waving at you from the summer cool PNW!
