Still do, but I'm better. I'm a writer who has 2 published short stories and another one coming soon. I'm a teacher who is searching for her own classroom.

I'm looking forward to going to ThrillerFest, a writer's conference held annually in NYC. It might not be this year as I have priorities with my son who'll be leaving for college. But it's my dream. and I'll never give up on it. Just like I'll never give up on finding an agent or getting published someday. I'll swagger even more then!<br /><br />(I'm a new follower via the Deja Vu blogfest.)Nancy Thompsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05735642863696266005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6607988938023368182.post-46751488496928357412011-12-17T05:48:15.920-08:002011-12-17T05:48:15.920-08:00Congrats on finding your swagger!
