Hi Marie,
ReplyDeleteThank you so very much for your eloquent. In my opinion Cons are the 'real- life' on so many different levels, in particular for us as writers trying to grow and network 'the business'. Its all about perspective after all gaining 'respect'.
"So do you yourself a favour. Label everything that you love so much and want to keep enjoying and succeeding at as part of your real life. Don't cheapen it or rob it of intensity by assigning it to not-real-life (?)". Here here to this, well done. You've head the nail on the head. Cheers, Vanessa
