I so enjoyed reading through the little windows into a very different publishing past.<br />I tend to get my ms out to beat readers once I get passed page 5.

After working on a book for years, it's something I won't neglect.<br /><br />Blessings,<br />Susan :)Susan J.

My dream that I will someday be a "serious published author" is my precious "baby" and I don't show it to just anybody, lest they peer over their glasses into its face, turn up their nose and scoff, snorting, "Oh, that won't amount to anything!"<br />I definitely am an insecure writer at times, but no, actually, I don't hesitate to put my name on my work, once it's written. I just hesitate to send it out to anyone and ask them to publish it!<br />Wendy<br />Faith's Firm Foundation<br />www.wendygunn.netWendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08230575436747893912noreply@blogger.com
