I don't think there's any genre you couldn't write. And I'm going to look for that sweet romance of yours...is it still available? *g*<br /><br />Talent? Well, it's not the most exciting answer, but I'm pretty good at gardening and home canning. Pathetic as far as talents go, hey?

I have worked in factories on machines, doctors offices, a little of everything. Also make quilts but still don't know what I am cut out to do in life. My neighbors even say I am the man of the house because I do everything.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06924888528166831610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-28156306951555561372011-05-10T18:04:19.994-05:002011-05-10T18:04:19.994-05:00Is it possible to have one everyday at some point?...Is it possible to have one everyday at some point? <br /><br />Seriously though my biggest was a few years ago, came though it ok.

Most people know me as the super mom and the super competent English teacher. They don't know this rather staid person spends her free time creating fantasy worlds full of sword-wielding heroes and adventurous heroines.Helenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01665069138305113810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-3468066184587207152011-05-10T13:39:46.470-05:002011-05-10T13:39:46.470-05:00I am not a writer (though I do write poetry).

I love photography (taking pictures of what captures my attention and interest) and would like to maybe do something with that, but wonder if I'm too old to go back to school to do anything with that! <br />I admire your courage in tackling something you wanted to do and not giving up!Brandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02738504696243512495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-34317202472933064382011-05-10T13:36:31.936-05:002011-05-10T13:36:31.936-05:00Better to be a smartass than a dumbass!

Really, when you were 22 didn't you think you'd have aquired wisdom by the time you were grown?"<br /><br />She's the smartest, most together person I know, and if she thinks she hasn't aquired wisdom yet, there's not much hope for the rest of us.<br /><br />Maybe admitting you don't know everything and are still willing to change and learn new things is the best we can hope for.<br /><br />After all, we have a long time to live.

My identity crisis is between my 'regular' romances and my erotic ones. My brain has to think in totally separate ratings levels. Of course, I find that Tea Trelawny's eroticism tries to creep into Teri Thackston's non-erotic stories, but I manage to subdue it to more of a seductive level...successfully, I hope.Teri Thackstonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18279674725776051797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-39083526254898921132011-05-10T10:27:01.619-05:002011-05-10T10:27:01.619-05:00I love that you found what you wanted to write as ...I love that you found what you wanted to write as opposed to some that write what they think people want to read. My oldest daughter (now 27) introduced me to YA books and I've been enjoying them. I love your sense of humor (smart ass humor haha) so I think it fits in wonderfully with YA.

And I recruit other pirates (other women obviously in the throes of an identity crisis.) <br /><br />And I have an identity crisis about every 4 years. The biggest one was when I turned 26 and I was SINGLE, unpublished, living at home, and unglorious in every way imaginable for a young person to be. When you're 10 and you think you'll know everything by the time you're 22, it's really disappointing to realize you don't know shit. And then to get to age 26 and realize you still don't and your hopes for marriage, publishing, or anything glorious are dwindling like a puddle in Arizona--well, you can see why I broke down.Hellie Sinclairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03933713255844695337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4542417548623715196.post-55774850894510567282011-05-10T08:42:34.528-05:002011-05-10T08:42:34.528-05:00I already own Born at Midnight, though if I win I ...I already own Born at Midnight, though if I win I have friends I can pass it along to. ;) I just wanted to say how much I enjoyed the interview.
