I'm a different person now, I know a lot more, so I have different things to say in my novels.

I can't imagine contending with a day job AND raising my family. I'd have lost my mind by now, I'm sure! So...no regrets. Writing came to me at a time I could enjoy it. And boy, do I enjoy it!<br />Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281000668036619727.post-57013989282521973472014-02-21T08:10:46.994-05:002014-02-21T08:10:46.994-05:00I agree to a point.

I wish I had played with writing sooner, thinking like B.A. that I could have learned so much about the craft sooner. <br /><br />But, you know, I was raising a family--6 kids. And my time constraints were such while I was doing that and working full time and dealing with a husband with health issues that I think I'd have been terribly frustrated if I'd tried writing sooner. So, yeah. I might have thought I was sorry, but upon reflection, I'm not. :DDonna K. Weaverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15763832177263927311noreply@blogger.com
