I was so pleased that they acknowledged me as a writer. I put it in that beautiful Cherry wood box shaped like a book that you gave me when I graduated from college. I still think a lot about writing. Thinking, not doing. I spend so much time tending to the little lives in my world, (mama mama mama ) not enough to follow my dreams. Of course if I put the same amount of time into writing that I spend on Facebook, I may have half a novel completed by now. I still have my first rejection letter.
