When you're working on writing, if you don't give it your all, you are just wasting all that you sacrificed.<br /><br />Cherie-- Aw! Thanks! You're so sweet!<br /><br />Nancy-- That's awesome! Thanks! Jessie rocks. Best of luck on your dream! And in your picture, you totally look like a spring chicken. <br /><br />Jessie-- If you're sacrificing your sanity, that means we can actually call you crazy then, right? :) And I could totally picture you having a million dollar recording artist deal.<br /><br />CherylAnne-- Sigh. Bejeweled was a fabulous time waster.<br /><br />Bryce-- Thanks! And I love that both of your doors are writing doors! (Even if one is scary.)

You totally chose right!!</i> <br /><br />Kelley-- It's totally okay to not sacrifice Bones. :) And wow! Singing in a band! That's a pretty huge sacrifice. <br /><br />E.R.-- So very true.Peggy Eddlemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241451940725996650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314030690340539256.post-16910097411565913052011-08-02T23:11:04.119-06:002011-08-02T23:11:04.119-06:00Great post, Peggy! I love the "two doors"...Great post, Peggy! I love the "two doors" comment. Of course, now I just need to decide. Is it the lady or the tiger behind the door I've opened? <br /><br />Sometimes my writing is a lady, euphoria that sends me to heights never before attained. At other times, it is the tiger, a predator unparalleled by any of my fears.<br /><br />Either way, it's the door I chose.

We're fellow recipients of the Liebster. She's says you're a great friend to have around so I thought I'd follow you. <br /><br />You are so right about making sacrifices to pursue writing. I'm new to the game, or relatively so. I'm so dedicated that, with the exception of my family and friends, I put everything else to the side to follow my dream to publication.<br /><br />I feel a little guilty at times, but this is the first dream I've had only for myself. And I'm no spring chicken, so that's saying something.Nancy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314030690340539256.post-53994112442511056702011-08-02T10:56:33.300-06:002011-08-02T10:56:33.300-06:00I have an award for you, Peggy!

I sometimes feel guilty when my little girl is pulling at me for the fiftieth time to come play Barbies, but it also makes me feel like if I'm going to do this, I better put my heart and soul in; anything less would mean I was wasting time when I could be playing with my kid. So much guilt!Liz Reinhardthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15431422051251925133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314030690340539256.post-43550958061617739922011-08-02T10:36:22.068-06:002011-08-02T10:36:22.068-06:00Thank you for this post!

I decided to give up singing in a band to pursue this.
