Becoming a writer is one dream of mine that I've seen myself accomplishing, as I reach the end of my assignments with Long Ridge. <BR/><BR/>Congratulations! <BR/><BR/>snowSnowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05444711001281371035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36000549.post-89553173758087402792007-05-03T11:32:00.000-05:002007-05-03T11:32:00.000-05:00And I thank you, Cheryl. Even when I didn't want ...And I thank you, Cheryl. Even when I didn't want to hear some of the comments you made, they all stayed with me and my writing has improved because of them. Most important, I'm no longer an adverb-monger *G* But beyond that, you're notes have made me realize some important things in how I write. I admit openly that right now what I'm writing this minute is not my best, but I am confident that when I go through and edit it will become that :D But, that's a whole other blog post *LOL*<BR/><BR/>Thanks, everyone! Speck, I'm holding you to that party in the moat. I'll make a cake in celebration...I've been studying new techniques. Finishing my book gives me the perfect excuse to practice them! *G* <BR/><BR/>SadieSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931133460067630762noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36000549.post-47121157012358089442007-05-03T11:20:00.000-05:002007-05-03T11:20:00.000-05:00I have confidence in you too, Sadie.

It's been a wonderful opportunity to see you progress as a writer and enhance my own skills too.<BR/><BR/>I too say that my life is full of regrets, paths not taken or ones abandoned for one reason or another, but I cannot dwell on the past. I look ahead to the future and all that I can accomplish with my writing.<BR/><BR/>And I know you will succeed too. Best of luck and lots of hugs.<BR/><BR/>CherylCherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03470069911115912344noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36000549.post-47919706754272085432007-05-03T09:35:00.000-05:002007-05-03T09:35:00.000-05:00Way to go, Sadie.

My "early retirement" to take care of my dad has given me the time to try and realize my dream of being a writer and a painter, and I'm finding out how much I still have to learn, and how much work is involved. Just because it's fun doesn't mean it's not a job!<BR/><BR/>Every day I pass a sign -- in front of a building supply store of all places -- that says "Goals are dreams with deadlines." That has become my mantra.<BR/><BR/>And Speck, make sure there's plenty of chocolate for the fountain!<BR/><BR/>crazyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36000549.post-61123948866760152602007-05-03T09:17:00.000-05:002007-05-03T09:17:00.000-05:00Sadie,I know you can do it too:-) In fact, the wh...Sadie,<BR/><BR/>I know you can do it too:-) In fact, the whole first week of June we will celebrate with you. I'm making a list of all the things we need for celebration by the moat:-)<BR/><BR/>I'll even schedule a moat cleaning just for the occasion. Party in clean muck!<BR/><BR/>SpeckJeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15060752369115661100noreply@blogger.com
