I remember a few months ago when I made the mistake of blurting out how I would love to pursue and MA in Creative Writing eventually - one of my work colleagues said I should go for it because - "all you have to do is write a book within a year - that's easy".<br /><br />LOL! <br /><br />Take care<br />xOld Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13185547869183611159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9107245040090735659.post-83635717968267761032011-11-14T09:59:18.111-07:002011-11-14T09:59:18.111-07:00Awesome analogy, Angie.

We forget that the perfect book in our hands went through as much toil as our own writing projects.<br /><br />PS) I LOVE rollercoasters! So much fun :)Laura S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13934230198562773803noreply@blogger.com
