It's hard for me not to think about publishing, but I can't or it will put pressure on me. For now it is what it is.Sandra Scoppettonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00149336752789641751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208953.post-56503057125282590362009-01-19T17:18:00.000-05:002009-01-19T17:18:00.000-05:00Ciao Sandra,E' sempre un piacere ritrovarti e rile...Ciao Sandra,<BR/><BR/>E' sempre un piacere ritrovarti e rileggerti.

I,...I don't think you gave that impression, Sandra. I, for one, am feeling anxious for you. I want it to feel like a brand new experience. I want you to buzz along and not question or worry or analyze or even think about where you're going. Maybe I want too much for you and should just mind my own business ... but I sincerely want another book on the shelves with your name on it and I really don't care if it's a mystery or a YA. You have so many people watching, waiting and cheering you on. Friends and fans. That's what we are. :)<BR/><BR/>And yeah, I was a cheerleader in my younger days.

I've made my living that way. So it's hard for me to not think that if I slip into thinking I might be writing a novel instead of a short story. I don't think I'm explaining this very well. But I don't feel pressured. Just confused. More about my family popping into my stuff than anything. I've never written about myself with my family. It's all very odd.Sandra Scoppettonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00149336752789641751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8208953.post-34519031973028431662009-01-16T16:31:00.000-05:002009-01-16T16:31:00.000-05:00I agree with Patti.
