So sad that you gave up for so many years, but it's great that you came back to it! Very inspiring. :)Carol Riggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14092209912983783974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-89521043781729158132011-06-29T08:15:49.288-04:002011-06-29T08:15:49.288-04:00Thanks for sharing your inspiring story!

Love ..."I wasn't ready as a writer."<br /><br />Love this line! I always have a similar thought as I'm typing away on my WIP(s). Sometimes it sucks to remember I'm not agented/published, but I learn so much every day from writing/reading that I'm not overly bummed. Where I'm at now as a writer vs. where I was two years ago when I sent my first ever query out...I shake my head at the old me's impatience :)Jennifer Pickrellhttp://jenniferpickrell.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-65393846528575672712011-06-29T06:40:49.578-04:002011-06-29T06:40:49.578-04:00Thanks for sharing your experiences.

Like you, I started writing later in life. <br /><br />It's interesting reading about your experiences with agents because you've had quite a few experiences with them. Glad you found an agent you are happy with. Good luck with your book.Natalie Aguirrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03756087804171246660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005062827798430682.post-61293687779971757752011-06-29T06:21:48.120-04:002011-06-29T06:21:48.120-04:00Thanks for sharing your experiences, Ara.
