You can't see the picture if you are in the frame - and Y'all are in the frame."<br /><br />Here's to more fun TV reviews, Douche-bag-o-meter, Tell the Truth Tuesdays, commentary on you lives and much more!<br /><br />Love you guys!!!Katie Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067504634291164972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5328014776473730528.post-87481255053885277602009-09-08T11:15:59.138-04:002009-09-08T11:15:59.138-04:00Happy Blogiversary.

We've all been there, thinking we're literary geniuses just because we came up with BRILLIANT (i.e., cliched) ideas and put them on "paper." And we've all been given swift kicks in the rear to remind us that, ahem, maybe this writing this is actually a craft and takes real practice and all that lame-o stuff.<br /><br />Okay, now that the celebration's over ....... Can you see me, sticking my tongue out at you? I didn't realize you've only been at this for a year. One measly little year.

Love it!<br /><br />I'm right there with you on the first book thing. I just recently accepted the same thing so I'm knee deep in my new WIP and after reading this (and knowing another friend's similiar story) I'm hoping the same holds true for me. Boy oh boy have I learned a lot in a year! <br /><br />Thanks for sharing...this is just the sort of thing brand new writers need to hear because it pretty much happens to all of us. So sad in a way how we think it's all going to happen fast. lol No doubt we'll soon be celebrating the big news that you've found a publisher.
