I was going to be CAREER WOMAN! Twenty-plus years later, I have a hubby and two kids, I've run a preschool and a children's ministry, and I stay home now and write young adult novels. And I'm in love with my life!<br /><br />I wouldn't mind a great part-time job, though. :)Julie Gloverhttp://www.julieglover.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-21233370313517453142012-03-13T14:39:52.490-07:002012-03-13T14:39:52.490-07:00I never thought I'd say I don't need the e...I never thought I'd say I don't need the extra money and would rather have more time. I asked for a demotion at one of my jobs specifically so I could have time, even though the cut in pay admittedly hurts a little. Maybe with that free time I'll finish my revisions. :)Jasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12321865399706410702noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-63327027738579218192012-03-13T10:10:40.198-07:002012-03-13T10:10:40.198-07:00Next time, wrap your scallops in prosciutto, and m...Next time, wrap your scallops in prosciutto, and marinade in a thin, spicy BBQ sauce.

Jayne Ann Krentz said it's there with every book, and she's always sure the one she just wrote will be the one that kills her career.therese patrick, authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14624202282411832436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-32839203820577244242012-03-13T06:02:10.899-07:002012-03-13T06:02:10.899-07:00Yay for wine sales!

And yay for positive change.<br /><br />I don't know that there is anything drastic I can point to in the last couple of years, but if you had told me in 2005 that I would be one of Llewellyn's core of authors, with six nonfiction books and slews of articles out, I would have laughed in your face.<br /><br />Of course, on the down side, if you told me that I would FINALLY get a great agent and still not have sold a novel two years later, I would have doubted that as well. Still, I know it is coming.<br /><br />More surprising to me are some of my internal changes, which are slow to happen, but still pretty impressive. Other than, ya know, the twitching.<br /><br />BTW--I am loving BELIEVE IT OR NOT. I'm starting in on a humorous paranormal called (for the moment) "I Met God at Starbucks" which kind of reminds me of your novels, so it is good inspiration :-)Deborah Blakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04032614187237072683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-58414171109509285422012-03-13T05:39:54.510-07:002012-03-13T05:39:54.510-07:00I don't want to say this is experience talking...I don't want to say this is experience talking, but never roll bacon wrapped scallops and an orgasm.Patrick Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01121337008453549441noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-73469939912666337142012-03-13T02:46:39.906-07:002012-03-13T02:46:39.906-07:002 years ago:

Recent experiences solved that for me - now I just need to afford that huge farm for all unwanted animals that I wish to run.<br /><br />2) I didn't see myself sharing my flat with a 3,5 legged cat and a bunny who's convinced he's immortal.<br /><br />3) I didn't know the absolute joy of having a nephew - and didn't think there would be another nephew/niece on the way.<br /><br />4) I didn't know how much I'd love taking lessons at a riding school and how nice the people there would be.<br /><br />And just 5 minutes ago I didn't think I'll come up with as happy things as you had.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14869145555938203736noreply@blogger.com
