A few months later, I had my first book.<br /><br />This is a GREAT idea BTW :)Jolene Perryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14809468564016928636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487444177236422658.post-38965644563540493582011-02-28T19:46:51.648-08:002011-02-28T19:46:51.648-08:00I've written different things for different re...I've written different things for different reasons. Sometimes it's been a means of escape in difficult times, and sometimes it's been the opposite - a journey of self-discovery and personal development. I wrote on and off for 25 years before I was eventually published, but publication is the icing on the cake. I think with an industry that's so hard to break into, writing is, and must be, to a large extent, its own reward.Robyn Bavatihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16222604295177839651noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7487444177236422658.post-79614005938280601202011-02-28T12:52:44.432-08:002011-02-28T12:52:44.432-08:00I can't remember a time when I didn't have...I can't remember a time when I didn't have stories floating around in my head.

I have a notebook full of outlines and ideas for things that weren't right for me. Then two years ago, I had the "aha" moment when the first spark for my story came to me. I've been working on it ever since. Hopefully it will be finished this year.Melissa Hursthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15530652829980250261noreply@blogger.com
