I like it a lot but not sure I havent made a full time job from just doing that alone. A friend of mine was an Executive Chef. He had to give up work for a while and recover from heart surgery. In 3 months he wrote a book which sold for a million pounds. I still have his draft on my computer. He is such a creative talent in every possible way. I think the secret is not to want anything so badly.Lillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14597193176450931002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620413414268418377.post-40008638413285246122011-08-31T22:46:20.850+10:002011-08-31T22:46:20.850+10:00Hi Shannon thanks for stopping by and commenting o...Hi Shannon thanks for stopping by and commenting on several posts, it is always lovely to read your words.<br /><br />Hope you have fun with your NaNoWriMo this November and trying a different technique should be interesting.<br /><br />Also all the best with setting up your new foundation, I am so proud of you my dear friend!miruspeghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01980477108868960140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-620413414268418377.post-61780331931407201192011-08-31T04:41:50.603+10:002011-08-31T04:41:50.603+10:00I love this Peggy and I am going to use the messag...I love this Peggy and I am going to use the message this November during NaNoWriMo.
