My husband recently had a health scare that put the book firmly in its place - an irrelevant, if fun detail. If I had to choose between his health and a career in publishing... it's a dream, it's rewarding, but it's just a book. Thank you for the reminder!Rebecca Alexanderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00474010455394752000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-83579615283261292122013-09-17T04:29:09.273-07:002013-09-17T04:29:09.273-07:00That's my dream too. ^.^ Just one novel...(and...That's my dream too. ^.^ Just one novel...(and then I get greedy and crash my own dream by saying I-want-to-publishing-hundreds-of-novels...

And there's a difference, too. You can dream of "just one book." But there's still more to do once you achieve that dream. I agree with Neurotic, here. We always need dreams, things to strive for. <br /><br />Maybe instead of dreaming to have "just one book" your dream can always be "one more book."Paul Anthony Shortthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14393249001158230985noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-48665767711806026802013-09-16T20:38:08.439-07:002013-09-16T20:38:08.439-07:00I don't think you're greedy for wanting to...I don't think you're greedy for wanting to publish more books; you already made one dream come true, so I think it's good to have more dreams.

I am that young woman, too. It's my dream to just get one book published. Just one. I want it so bad, but it feels like I'm never going to be able to make it happen. Reading about your story has definitely been inspiring to me, and I hope one day to be where you are - on the other side of the author table. :) Momlarkyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04729637315076491980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-59665518566402231062013-09-16T09:29:10.446-07:002013-09-16T09:29:10.446-07:00Dreams are such fickle nothingstuff yet it takes c...Dreams are such fickle nothingstuff yet it takes courage and strength to bear them.Whirlochrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09846196906206886945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5774363178370829558.post-43117808514182990082013-09-16T09:18:06.670-07:002013-09-16T09:18:06.670-07:00I think we need this reminder often.
