Same with my sister. I'm glad, though, because I was also compelled to act for a time and luckily the compulsion to write was stronger. It may not exactly be easy on one's self-esteem, but at least no one ever asked me to get a boob job before they'd look at my books!Dana Fredstihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12802936840624512415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-87681843254667560682009-12-05T15:27:18.580-06:002009-12-05T15:27:18.580-06:00LOL, Malcolm.

We'll probably be discovered after we've passed on and our books will sell a billion copies, like Agatha Christi. :-)Jean Henry Meadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08146960738692672013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7041804343600978883.post-61656738875990308092009-12-05T15:24:40.224-06:002009-12-05T15:24:40.224-06:00I guess we were born to write, Marilyn.

If I'd only hung around with a better crowd of people as a young man, I might be working as a shade tree mechanic without a care in the world.<br /><br />MalcolmMalcolm R.

Some of my royalty checks make me wonder why I keep on doing it--but you answered that question many times over in your blog.<br /><br />MarilynMarilyn Meredith a.k.a. F. M.
