Elaine, thank you so much for guesting! I love that you had enough confidence to forge ahead, even when people weren't 100%. I can't wait to read your book!

Wow. So many books already published. Super.
My own story is more like your son's --- I've more or less ALWAYS been writing. All the way back to grammar school, basically. But became 'serious' about it in 10th grade.
When I still had a full-time "day job" writing was a key component, even though it was reports, manuals, policies, correspondence, and other documentation. Still, it kept my fingers working and kept me familiar with words.

Wonderful post, Elaine. I share your regret about not getting started sooner. I know my dad would have loved seeing me succeed in getting published.

Ladies, thanks for stopping by. Lisa, I think you'd like the story. Rebekah, you're right. We'll never know what we can do until we try.

Great post ladies! Elaine, I really loved reading about your journey. This goes to show that if you want something bad enough, you go for it--things aren't going to happen if we don't try.

And I loved the bit about you going to the library with your mom!
