Much good novel material is found in watching our children and the parents that surround them.<br /><br />Good luck on becoming a "published" writer. I have a stay at home mom friend here in Cary who always aspired to be a writer but took another professional route that paid the bills. She just had her 3rd book published.

Success was soon to follow.<br /><br />Michele DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5269680145561542733.post-44231562548402067152011-07-04T22:17:06.668-04:002011-07-04T22:17:06.668-04:00I asked Sarah Dessen this question while I was wor...I asked Sarah Dessen this question while I was working on my first draft of my now never ending novel. She said when she was published for the first time is when she was a writer. I was still teaching at the time so I thought that's what I would think too. But, later that summer I put a period on the last line of that first draft and that was when I called myself an writer for the first time. I sometimes don't feel like I DESERVE that title. Especially when I go days without writing, but I think somewhere within me I'm always a writer.Katihttp://www.disabledmama.tumblr.comnoreply@blogger.com
