The friends I see every week don't really understand this dream of mine and how hard I work to fulfill it. But they're my friends and they support me.

I always seem to cheer for the rocker like Chris Daughtry.

Our success as a writer depends on the whole package we create from bits and pieces we choose with care, not just of our creative project but of our image too. If we take care with all that and dedicate to making it as crafted as possible we can achieve our dreams! Thanks for inspiration.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
