A Meme about Various Things
What were you doing ten years ago?
Ten years ago I was a newly wed and because I married at 19 everyone assumed I was braindead. I was working in some crappy office jobs (I still work in crappy office jobs so nothing’s changed there) and because I was unstimulated I decided to do further study. For some insane reason I thought shorthand was the way to go (I think my reasoning was that I’d further my administration career-mmm, maybe I was braindead) and it was awful. The only good thing that came out of it was that I decided to study something I liked and began the Diploma of Arts in Professional Writing and Editing which is directly responsible for my writing career taking off.

Nope-if you want to do it, go for it.
Amra: 20 years ago I was nowhere near as close to getting published as you were 10 years ago. I still have a long way to go. You’ve come a long way in such a short amount of time.
Can’t wait for DAUGHTER to be released.
