All writers perhaps dream that they will be the next J.K. Rolling or be discovered by one of Oprah's book agents. But the honest truth is that is for 99% of authors that just does not happen. So why write? On the hope that 1% and make your fame of fortune? Read the article and the comments and find out.

Happy (early) St. George's Day. I got used to celebrating St. Andrew's Day growing up b/c I did Scottish Highland Dancing and we always had performances for St. Andrew's Day and Burns' Night dinners.
ReplyDeleteSt. George needs to find a catchy way to have people celebrate his day. Green beer and haggis are taken. Think he'd go for rowdy football fans?
Well, Happy St. George's Day to you, Barry! Honestly I had not heard of this, so am thrilled to learn about it! By the way, I love you animated signature! Very cool!
ReplyDeleteSt Andrews Nov 30th and yes we used to have Burns Night in England with a Haggis Tatties and neeps, with a wee dram
ReplyDeleteSt George's Day I will write about on my Sunday UK Blog so you can read all about him and when it all started.
You're offering a great variety here in your pots. I don't know why we don't celebrate St. George's Day here.
