It is sad. I fully expect you to be published before long. I see how hard you work. Talent and determination are a powerful combination! <br /><br />My son has read hair too. For a while he called it off brown, but now he admits that he is a ginger.

Many of them have said, "Oh, I'd write a book someday, if I only had the time." Well, I MAKE the time to do it, just like you do. Just like anyone who makes a career out of writing does.<br /><br />If you have a dream to do something, whether it be to write a book, to retire by age 50, to sail around the world, or even something small like plant a vegetable garden or finish reading the complete works of Shakespeare, the only way you're going to do any of it is to make time for it and do it. I don't listen to people who won't make time for their dreams.<br /><br />I don't expect the whole universe to love my books, if they are ever published, but I do expect them to appreciate the effort I made. Or at least not to make themselves feel bigger by trying to diminish what I've decided to do with my spare time.<br /><br />Keep writing! I, for one, can't wait to read your book. And I love red hair, since I'm stuck with it myself (at least the parts that haven't turned gray!).Laura Hughes, MittensMorgulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934132671168843593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598544278562595293.post-54623756468746549082012-04-10T18:02:07.743-07:002012-04-10T18:02:07.743-07:00Okay, here's the deal and you know it to be tr...Okay, here's the deal and you know it to be true: a lot of people here on this planet just suck. Nothing we can do about that. The trick is to gather the ones that don't around you. Now, a few will slip through under the radar because they pose as people they aren't, unavoidable. Next are the few that ride along with the people you really need. They are the negative ions in your Karmic Molecule. Believe it or not, you still need them to hold the whole thing together. It's science, baby! <br />Just make sure the balance of it is more positive than negative and you will soon be building amazing things. You already are and you know that, but sometimes a near perfect stranger needs to tell you. <br />I love your stuff and I love your blog. You share and we recognize these things in our lives too.<br />P.s.: Dr. Who is lame.Patrick Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10122256317224531776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598544278562595293.post-6278100555208220562012-04-10T16:37:43.258-07:002012-04-10T16:37:43.258-07:00I want to plus 1 this 15 million times.

Blow them off and just keep writing. You'll NEVER look back and say,"Oh man, I wish I had listened to that jerk-face." Besides, your talent needs to be out there for others to see :)Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07416225896854815021noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598544278562595293.post-22782613559234890442012-04-10T16:14:26.427-07:002012-04-10T16:14:26.427-07:00Ah, from your lips (keyboard?) to God's ears! ...Ah, from your lips (keyboard?) to God's ears!
