However, I just let whatever happens happen. You are a published author. That in itself is a wonderful achievement, my dear friend. <br /><br />Have a peaceful weekend and smile.<br /><br />Gary :) klahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8669601964389987165.post-47569459132175417412014-06-06T14:56:31.144+01:002014-06-06T14:56:31.144+01:00I am not there yet to share.

When I first sent it I had so many emotions scared to death was just one of them! What if she sent it back with a note that read Hate it Or Don't quit your day job? That was all I could think about. When she called to tell me she loved it really put me at ease.

I might be too distracted to WRITE, but I can always come up with ideas. That way, I think: If this one is a flop, I'll still have the next one!<br /><br />It might seem negative, but it's not. I'm just trying to keep as many eggs in the basket as possible.Dianne K.
