No secrets? Just honest hard work and determination? Well there goes my glorious plans. Seriously, I appreciate the honest pep talk. It's too easy to get sidetracked and disenchanted while trying to wedge that foot in the door (just to abuse a tired cliche). What? No secrets? Just honest hard work and determination?

As a writer I related and agreed with everything you said. People will tell me 'I like to write' and consider themselves writers because of it. As you continue talking to them, you find 'no, you aren't writers', you haven't the time or passion that goes into it. This is something I've been doing since I could form a coherent sentence. I never deviated from the dream of being a writer. I'll confess it didn't turn out the way I dreamed. I was sure by the time I was in my thirties I'd be a best-selling author---WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD!!! I could have lined my walls with rejections. I threw fits, I threw out manuscript after manuscript, spiraled into depressions but never quit. I couldn't. It's WHO I am! I'll say I'm a writer before I say I'm a Mom! Awful, I know, but I was a writer before I pushed out that first boy. I have recently tried my hand at romance again but found my heart (no pun intended) wasn't in it. My true passion is the vampire genre. So, the site you see posted here will be taken down and revamped (again, no pun intended) to display only my vampire novels. Thank you for this chance to speak.
