No seriously I love children's books, that would even be my first choice when i write one. One day I will for sure. I love writing too but it takes a lot of time and I am completely new to that world, so I first have to work out how it all works and I do the blogging to get used to writing regularly although that's still hard. I am so happy for you though. Thanks for telling me all this. Oh and I just see it is NOv the 5th so I will come back later. In Nz we are probably about 8 hours ahead of you.<BR/>Few questions still You said You are a writer period. What do you mean by that.<BR/>Anyways have a great day and till soonMarjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17458942200244031009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-12109198995923180442007-11-04T02:17:00.000-06:002007-11-04T02:17:00.000-06:00Winston, LOL.

(Laugh) By the way, I was relieved to hear that you were four when you attacked the Power Ranger. LOL. I thought about that this morning during cartoons. I get such a kick out of that story. It's so funny. Poor Marja, I hope she will comment again. I didn't mean to go on and on. LOL. Have a great night Pal, and thanks for the extra comment. :))<BR/><BR/>Annaniceplaceinthesun.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356497322124481526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-23401465822896029562007-11-04T02:07:00.000-06:002007-11-04T02:07:00.000-06:00Speedy, You have to go get that picture!

I don't know if you saw it but I found a letter my brother wrote about me in his second grade journal entitled My Sister Is A Bad Little Girl. It is really funny. I have a feeling you'll find some great stuff to post about. I can't wait to see.

Well, actually I read an article Christy wrote on the writers site helium. Have you heard of helium? I went to her profile page on helium and noticed that she was a writer with a blog. Then, I went to Christys Coffee Break and was amazed by the concept of blogging. Coffee Break reminded me of a little coffee shop or little writers community, or I guess I even thought he was a writers community at first. Until I started to read it everyday. I thought, well here is a writer who has created an audience for her work, as she writes it. You know, as opposed to a web site that only promotes a writers work. In fact, some of the writers associations I belong to will not allow me to link to them unless I write only about writing itself, or writing in a certain genre. Well, I'm not just a children's writer. I'm a writer period. I didn't want to put the material I planned on publishing (manuscripts) on the web, but I wanted to connect with others. In addition, I thought by entertaining others, I could use the opportunity to suggest children's books and eventually my own work (humorist/children) to everyone, not just people interested in writing. I've been writing all my life, and have some college, but stopped years ago for reasons far to complicated to go into here. But, I think when we're born to do something I think we return to it, regardless of a long absence. Although I didn't return until recently. One reason, is that my son is grown, and I'm no longer his sole provider. It's hard to explain all of this in a comment. But, I thought it may not make much sense that I haven't any novels or children's books already on the market. I didn't want you to think I'm a bad writer. LOL It's exciting and I've been really lucky to have some freelance work to keep me going, until the day of the Pulitzer. :)) I also plan on blogging to supplement my income while I wait for publication dates for my children's manuscripts, and the money to research and write a novel some day. Anyway, that's my real world. No best selling novels. Freelance work has to pay the bills so it gets priority. LOL. I hope this is not too long, but I wanted to answer your question. There is a romantic stigma attached to writers that is really far from the reality. But, if you are pulled to write and have the drive to get your material out there, it can come true. I hope it does for me, although I'm content if I can just write for a living, and so far that's what I've been able to do. I feel very blessed that I can. I think you are a very good writer Marja. I was impressed with the poem you posted recently, and I love all of your posts. Have you ever thought about submitting them? <BR/>I hope that clear things up for you. Thanks for all your support and friendship, and when my children's manuscripts get a publication date I will keep you a buzz. I just don't want to promote mu work on A Nice Place In The Sun, and of course there are literary <BR/>rules about that as well. I also wanted to tell you that I responded to a review request to help promote a title that's publication date is right around the corner on Nov 5th. In other words it's not in the stores yet. The pub.Co is sending me a complementary copy, so I can't tell you the title. But come and read my review on Nov.5 <BR/><BR/>I think your kids will really like this book. <BR/><BR/>Have a great evening, and again, I hope this answers you question. Yes, I'm a writer in real life. kind of anyway. :))<BR/><BR/>Love, Annaniceplaceinthesun.blogspot.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12356497322124481526noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2912920652511807597.post-3186536352458621372007-11-03T19:11:00.000-05:002007-11-03T19:11:00.000-05:00Winston, Thank you so much.

My crush-o-meter is broken and stuck on high! :-) I remember a crush on my dad's friend when I was 5 or 6. Of course it was from afar as the man was in his twenties. I had a penchant for older men even back then it seems. Hee hee. I had a really cool thing happen this week too, a boy I dated when we were both q8 (and I wasa so smitten with him) contacted me . We had so much fun catching up and it's been TWENTY years but he remembered that my birthday was in January. The guy I married doesn't even know when my birthday is!!!
