Thanks for adviceo.<br /><br />Homer - I like your comment, it makes a lot of sense. Especially the reality check that really, I'm only 24 and am just starting out. Maybe a deadline is a bit ambitious. However, I've now made my feelings known to Mr Writer, and explained that it's important to me that I get my name in print. At the moment I feel I have nothing to show, but at least now I'm assured that he wants to help me get there.Please Don't Eat With Your Mouth Openhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09246896544080806179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-36449446753625518632009-04-22T19:00:00.000+01:002009-04-22T19:00:00.000+01:00I think very few writers are in a position to be a...I think very few writers are in a position to be able to write full time by your tender age, and that you should get a part time job, and agree with mspuddin that if you want to you'll manage both, and think setting yourself a deadline to be in print is a bit silly because it might take ages to get your big break. <br /><br />I'm not really anon, it's Homer, but it won't let me leave a name.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30034378.post-20589194433571339602009-04-22T02:42:00.000+01:002009-04-22T02:42:00.000+01:00First of all, who cares what other people think.

If you don't stay busy and focused of course you will start to feel less self esteem. So get back on your horse and when he needs you, you tell him you're ring him back just as soon as you have time.<br />Woof xGrumphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16364403796591955960noreply@blogger.com
