I'm sorry to say that my writing quite often gets pushed aside by my real life.

The dream of being a writer is my lifelong dream, so any whining I do is temporary and should fall on deaf ears.<br /><br />Thanks, Alice. :) Sorry about sending the hot weather your way.Jessica Loureyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157662092822156124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-31686991335504975672011-07-22T21:47:45.051-04:002011-07-22T21:47:45.051-04:00Great post, Jessie!Great post, Jessie!Alice Loweeceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09269785237562203610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-41150796775288764022011-07-22T21:20:41.357-04:002011-07-22T21:20:41.357-04:00[sob] You will be missed, Jess.[sob] You will be missed, Jess.Keith Raffelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02926077627965529183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-14595448068547262112011-07-22T18:51:54.066-04:002011-07-22T18:51:54.066-04:00I can so relate!

I don't have a lot of obligations, so I sit down whenever I feel like it and start writing.Robin Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16373722202559066388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-31254712598074859462011-07-22T13:27:39.277-04:002011-07-22T13:27:39.277-04:00Rock on, Terri!
