She doesn't work as she's too young. Maybe this summer she'll be able to get a job--but we'll either hand down mine (boohoo for her) or give her a used car we trust and I'll keep driving mine into the ground. <br /><br />Ellen: just keep swimming is perfect for me right now!Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-35323996103657721172009-12-04T09:17:05.918-06:002009-12-04T09:17:05.918-06:00As for DD, even Ryan's dad made him work for h...As for DD, even Ryan's dad made him work for his first car, and he was stinking rich...

That's why it is vital to have comrades on this journey. <br /><br />Just put together another package and zipped it off to cyberspace. If not this book, perhaps another.

If they requested a full, they saw something in you they liked. So will other agents, and maybe that one will with the next project.<br /><br />Onwards and upwards, keep up that positive attitude.Ellen Brickleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01184391430927483100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-73405697597511143032009-12-04T01:53:32.277-06:002009-12-04T01:53:32.277-06:00Thanks Mary!

All I have control over is my writing and my submitting. At least this year I can prove to the IRS I am seriously pursuing my writing. Ha ha... I may have to get a little suitcase for my Rs soon. I remember going to the M&M and Christie Craig ran a seminar (great one, by the way). After it was finished, she pulled out all her Rs and they filled a small suitcase. <br /><br />She's got a 3 book deal in one day. <br /><br />Persistence, Patience and Perseverance! Oh, those three Ps are the flip side of the Personal Pity Party.Christinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05383099148014297450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5523176879771875815.post-30939450592134472062009-12-03T20:58:56.976-06:002009-12-03T20:58:56.976-06:00You are the bomb!
