Now l'm on the verge of being a 'real' writer - which is to say, not a commercial writer. Follow your heart, and your heart will lead you. That's something I picked up from yoga.

If one is not passionate, and doing what ever because it will make them buckets of money, life will not be happy for them...work will be a drudge. <br /><br />Writers write because they must, not because they can, in my thinking. It's not the money that drives them, in my opinion, but the need to write.<br />☮ ♥ Siggi in Downeast Mainesiggiofmainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12619003987159808104noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4693401219959272564.post-48710252017636175502011-07-18T19:31:54.130-04:002011-07-18T19:31:54.130-04:00Great posts.
