Milestones & Epiphanies
Well, I guess getting my advanced degree is an accomplishment -- just felt like plain old work at the time. I realize that when they grow up, children are your best friends (outside of spouses). I mentioned dancing up above, being a performer never gets old (but you do).
With publication of my second book, I am now considering myself a"real" writer an am doing it full-time.
Now that I am about to have books four and five released, I'm definitely a writer.
Addendum: Read my Books! Fantasy epic, Nightmasters, books one (and two, June 4), Paranormal mystery, Third Times the Harm.
