The idea was someone else's, but 99% of the words were mine.<br /><br />When I found out he got an agent, I was miffed. When I found out he got a contract, I was irritated. If I could get his book published, why can't I get my book published.<br /><br />My brother read me the riot act and said I should be proud of the achievement. And I am. Sort of. My name is on page 3, in the acknowledgments. But it's not on the spine.<br /><br />And dark chocolate is actually healthy and good for you.

Even money prizes. I'm still after the prize. I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I want.<br /><br />I want to publish a novel. Even if it ends up selling on a table at BIG LOTS here in Ohio. I WANT A BOOK TO HOLD IN MY HANDS that has my name on the spine. Goes back to my library days as a kid when I was in awe of "writers." I wanted to be one. Now I am and I'm still wanting the prize. And yes dark chocolate helps. Thanks for writing this. Blessings, BarbB.
