I'm ten months into writing my first book.I met a young man, who was our waiter. He told us that he was a 'kurd'and not 'turkish'. We started taling and I proudly stated that I'm a writer and I bet he has a good story to tell. He pulled up a chair and began telling us about his life and that he would be interested in me writing his story! I can't tell you how encouraging your post on this subject has been to me during this phase in my writing career!

Thanks for sharing. <br /><br />Oh, I read his newest book, Wrecked, this week. I want to write like him, but that always happens when I read really great writing. : ) <br /><br />Again, thanks!S.

But no matter how much I write or how much I read about being a writer, it's still hard for me to say! Like Marney, I often say, "I'm attempting to be a writer."Celeste Vaughanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518136866180830749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2907737240492304428.post-64213370798420590732012-08-02T22:09:50.564-04:002012-08-02T22:09:50.564-04:00Great review, Lynn.

I can honestly say, those words changed my life! The next thing, "ok...you're a writer because Edie Melson said so," has stuck with me for many months. I return back to those words whenever I start to doubt myself again. Thanks for this review!

When people ask, I do blush and say something like, "Well, I'm trying to be a writer." <br /><br />I will work on this!Marney McNallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15911027511162235861noreply@blogger.com
