Sometimes it's a good quality and someitmes (as my husband can attest) it's an annoying quality. However, when pursuing a dream it's the good kind. I just knew, deep in my gut, that this series could and would have a life. I think when anyone is truly passionate about something, it makes it easier to keep hanging on. Passion drives us and can sustain us, especially in the darkest moments.Sara Humphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225281337599318528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-43061157276158551342010-12-30T09:06:20.331-05:002010-12-30T09:06:20.331-05:00Thanks Tracey :)Thanks Tracey :)Sara Humphreyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10225281337599318528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2802601138878132017.post-2712883736593428222010-12-30T06:38:43.975-05:002010-12-30T06:38:43.975-05:00Sara, Here's to people who don't know how ...Sara, Here's to people who don't know how to quit and agents and editors who can spot a great talent waiting to hit the shelves, but I want to know: On your worst, most despondent days, what did you tell yourself?
