Right now, I'm like one of those seagulls one sees bobbing out in the ocean, with the little unseen feet paddling furiously away! At some point (soon, I hope), I'll stretch my wings and take flight. I personally am not a novel/story writer (I really wouldn't know where to begin), but I'm in awe of you guys/gals who have such a skill. Hope 2010 brings much inspiration, ideas and offers knocking on doors :)PADDYhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11180609996783920910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12150605.post-31041260490919702992010-01-20T13:50:25.714-07:002010-01-20T13:50:25.714-07:00Sharla - unfortunately, doing what we love isn'...Sharla - unfortunately, doing what we love isn't always easy.
