We all feel that way about getting published after 100. You're going to make it way before then. I just know it. Janga, honey, you aren’t old. We all feel that way about getting published after 100.

Don't they always show up hours after you need them!? One thing I like about writing, if I come up with a good one, I can write it in later. We need a sanitation worker heroine... Someone who picks up the trash and finds a body. Then through the immense knowledge of how people handle their trash and a keen insight into the human psyche... Why not! Underdog was a shoeshine boy! Uh...beagle. I can just envision the television series. The exact oppostie of Monk... Ah! My ship for a hairstylist who could tame my perimenopause mop of hair! You people...I broke down and bought a brownie bite at Starbucks...a bit moist for me...but the chocolate! Ah! The chocolate! Some wonderful comebacks, ladies!

It's A LOT of work. I like Iggy but I seriously am afraid of anything Iguanalike. LOL. Terri, I know the feeling. My son announced that he can't wait to grow up and work at "Burger King." There's nothing bad with that. So what did I do? I did exactly what Daddy did for me. My husband, (who I had to pinch to shutup) had an absolutely different response. Renee, helping your children weave their dreams is the most magical of all jobs. My hats off to you for being--"just a Mom." Hellion, I finally found a photo of Daddy in his "sailor" days. When you guys have a blog on "HAWT DADS back in the DAY." Let me know, I'll scan my photo over. No, 'fo reals, I'll do it.

I love how he would be proud of you even if you "were just a sanitation worker"--that you would be a great worker no matter what you were doing. Awww, IG, I love your Daddy story…that’s the best.

I remember wanting to be a lawyer, and I received a lecture about how they were the slime of the slime with no scruples. Well, not in those exact words, the thing I didn't understand at the time was that my father's job was to put away that bad guys, and too often lawyers were able to free these bad guys and put them back on the streets so that they could continue in their wicked ways. I ended up being just a mom-but a mom who wants her children to chase their dreams, but I give them the advice that they should have more than one just in case they change their minds along the way. For the record, I don't believe all lawyers are crooks. I've met a few along the way that I admire very much. Sometimes I wish I would have had the guts to take a stand and do what I wanted to do, just to prove I'm no yellow bellied toad, but I don't regret being just a mom either. Besides, now I'm a writer and I can do and be whatever it is I want to through my characters. Julie, I love your comeback lines. Irish, let me tell you, when I got my hair done over the summer, it was the first time ever that I had absolutely loved my hair. She was worth every penny and plus some. I need to make another appointment. :) I'm feeling a little frizzed. Renee IG, that is wonderful that you dad’s belief in you was that strong.

Some people are old. I'm one of them. I figure that makes me an underdog as an aspiring romance writer since the odds against my becoming a debut author at 109 must be astronomical. But I'm not in control of publishing. I am in control of writing, so I keep focused on what I am in control of. :) Trust me, Sin. Some people are old. I’m one of them.

Like Iggy. But that kind of makes you sound like an iguana. And you're gorgeous. I can't downgrade from gorgeous statue to iguana. Bad me. Your daddy is a good man to always believe in his children and always believe that no matter what y'all would be the best at whatever you chose to do. But I can't see you riding on the back of a trash truck and hanging on by one hand like a rodeo rider. LOL IG- Hm, now I want to call you Ig all the time. Like Iggy.

Or should that be sanitation worker to be PC? That reminds me of my daughter. A few years ago her dream was to be a Sonic worker. Though the voices in my head were screaming "AIM HIGHER!", I told her to go for it. Man, that was hard. LOL! Now she wants to be an artist, possibly a teacher, and if she can combine that with any reason to walk the red-carpet, she'll be happy. Can we say "future reality show star"?
