I don't ever see me becoming famous. I just love to read romances and find it exciting and challenging to write them.Jill Kemererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865493609868329393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757067787158700689.post-86890870222553502282010-08-17T10:13:57.906-05:002010-08-17T10:13:57.906-05:00Great question!

But would I still write without that moment to look forward to?

For me it's become about carrying something on & being proud of the gift God gave me.<br /><br />Funny, one of the kids I'm teaching writing classes to asked if I was going to be famous today. I answered as honestly as possible. I told her I've handed it to God.<br /><br />So much mess comes with fame.<br />~ WendyWendy Paine Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15136235074351188350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4757067787158700689.post-31739924388502779922010-08-16T18:00:31.501-05:002010-08-16T18:00:31.501-05:00Absolutely!

The idea of fame would stop me from writing.

However,...I have to admit that fame has its appeal. However, I'm planning to write under a pseudonym, and even if I can never tell another person that I'm this or that writer, I will still write. Maybe I won't pursue publication quite as zealously, but I don't believe I will stop writing. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
