Any place would be lucky to have you and those that turn you down for any job are the big losers.

He's a real ass. I say he because only a MAN would be that harsh to me. <br /><br />The real me is, however, a bit lazy and prone to fun and humor which doesn't get much work done.

Then I took it out again and started over in a whole new way. One can make a career of writing the same book over and over. The publishing part is not within my capacity to do anything about. I CAN'T write a query letter and now I find if I've published on my blog nobody will represent me. So I'm sort of relieved. Now I can just keep writing.Utah Savagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16385093247915560752noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-61595202130628235142010-04-12T12:21:20.561-04:002010-04-12T12:21:20.561-04:00No doubts girl!!
