Right now so much of my motivation comes from those big dreams, and a 30-year fixed interest mortgage just doesn't compare to traveling the earth and changing the world. ....someday, perhaps.heidikinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17676023544382081511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-50774257753927829142007-06-16T20:57:00.000-05:002007-06-16T20:57:00.000-05:00Congratulations again, Trish! ;)And I'd disagree a...Congratulations <I>again</I>, Trish! ;)<BR/><BR/>And I'd disagree about dreaming big dreams (at least in my case). I never in my wildest dreams imagined I'd be trying my hand at writing before I was married. My husband inspired me! And my kids too in their own way--I needed an escape from the life of a stay-at-home-mom. ;)Alyssa Goodnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12563271888054706202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-28274700209231622102007-06-16T20:09:00.000-05:002007-06-16T20:09:00.000-05:00Congratulations!!

Have you come up with an official title for it?<BR/><BR/>I'm too picky and indecisive most of the time; so if I were to ever write an autobiography, I think I would call it:<BR/><BR/>"I Couldn't Decide On A Title For This Book, Which Is Pretty Much The Story Of My Life (Details Inside)"<BR/><BR/>...But that's all subject to change. :)<BR/><BR/>Take care,<BR/><BR/>PaulXPaulCaputoXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825118714151768042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-43590124468386906372007-06-16T13:49:00.000-05:002007-06-16T13:49:00.000-05:00Yay!

I just went through my novel-in-progress and did the same thing. Fortunately, I wasn't under the gun as you were. Was the decision to change tenses yours or your editor's? Just curious.<BR/><BR/>I really like what you said about thinking you were a good writer but that a great editor could make you an even better one. There's always something to be gained by revision. In fact, I love revision. It's the first ugly duckling draft that I hate. The wonderful thing is that I know it will only get better if I stick with it. <BR/><BR/>Congratulations on REALLY finishing your book! I look forward to reading more about your journey. <BR/><BR/>Best,<BR/>TenaTena Russhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08630397939303203418noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32908111.post-59959149965183564082007-06-15T23:29:00.000-05:002007-06-15T23:29:00.000-05:00YEAH!
