Tricia: "I really loved that book, but I sort of felt like maybe I could have written it. The author's voice was a lot like mine."
My mom: "Well, if you had written it, then nobody would have ever gotten to read it. Because you never send anything to a publisher."
Ouch.
But she's right. I have many things sitting and waiting for my courage to match their worth.
There is a small population to whom I have promised new shoes and a handbag if I turn thirty before I have sent a manuscript to a publisher.
I better get writing. Or shopping.

Okay, I'm just wondering if I can get in on the shoes and handbag thing. Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have you get published, but seriously. Shoes...AND a handbag?
Love to you.
Okay, and I just noticed that my comment said Jason and this is obviously JEN.
My husband doesn't loves shoes and handbags nearly as much as I do! :-)
I love Brighton and I wear a size 7!
Okay, Jen. You're in. And Jason too. And if he doesn't like handbags, you can have his. :)
Okay, as the mother quoted in this story, I just need to point out that I need all the help I can get in convincing this girl to SEND SOMETHING TO A PUBLISHER, FOR PETE'S SAKE!
Which is not to imply that I wouldn't enjoy a nice pair of shoes and a handbag to match. July 24, 2009 -- mark you calendars, girls.
