Have fun sharing with all those bright shining faces.<BR/>GaleGale Searshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14176214169369765831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193910359201416007.post-76842823378852705692009-01-16T11:30:00.000-07:002009-01-16T11:30:00.000-07:00Well put, Anna.

Yes, there are a few writers who make big bucks and some who make a decent living, but most merely pay for the little extras whether it's a long dreamed-of vacation, a new sofa, or dinner for the family at a favorite fast food restaurant. But whether our royalty checks are fat or thin, it really isn't the money most of us write for. It's a part of us, just something we do, something that gives us our greatest highs and sometimes our deepest lows, but something so ingrained in us, we can't imagine not ever writing again. Good luck with the speech.Jenniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15623353613539928215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4193910359201416007.post-16786114234043989252009-01-16T07:48:00.000-07:002009-01-16T07:48:00.000-07:00Best of luck with the speaking engagement. ;) You'...Best of luck with the speaking engagement. ;) You'll do great!
