It's a wonder we have any sanity left with all of the 'need to do' tasks in a given day let alone release day.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01046515540256155412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2119319671954219731.post-40006987519294923332011-05-18T06:50:43.225-07:002011-05-18T06:50:43.225-07:00I have nothing to release YET (see my optimism?) b...I have nothing to release YET (see my optimism?) but I can't wait. Even so, yes, writers are more than just, well, writing. We do it all--editor, marketeer, adviser, critique, friend and cheerleader. Now, just like you said, toss in our "real" jobs and how do we seem to manage? We do, because we love writing. We make time. <br /><br />I'm a dog lover (proud owner of an Australian Shepherd) and I admire you greatly. To have a dog with special needs, some people wouldn't stick around to care for that kind of pet. People tend to place very little value on animals, calling them replaceable--a dime a dozen. But their not. Their one of a kind. Even crazy cats :)<br /><br />Kudos to you. He looks so cute. Best wishes to you and your book.Angela Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12488555961691093024noreply@blogger.com
