The state you need to write in is the state that others are paying large sums to get rid of." ~ Shirley Hazzard<br /><br />"Writing a book is a long, exhausting struggle, like a long bout of some painful illness. One would never undertake such a thing if one were not driven by some demon whom one can neither resist nor understand." ~ George OrwellMichelle Gregoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05747275507200268417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341936379982803463.post-28768207633134612672009-09-24T23:22:07.637-07:002009-09-24T23:22:07.637-07:00My answer was yes before I read the post!

This might sound pathetic, but I...TOTALLY worth it. This might sound pathetic, but I want to be published mainly just to prove to everyone that I can do this. I want teenage girls to read our books and be inspired. I want my kids to know that it's possible to follow your dreams and have them come true. I want to hold my book someday, dammit.<br /><br />Sorry, what was your original question? Are writers crazy? Uh, yeah, I'm going to go with a big fat YES. At least this one is.lisa and laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18144863275895761642noreply@blogger.com
