A friend dropped these beautiful flowers off yesterday. She knew I had a rough day last week, and she wanted to tell me I was wonderful. What a great Monday!
I think I'll learn more and more how important a support system is, as a freelance writer. These flowers reminded me that eventhough I'm in this by myself in some ways, I'm not alone. And even though writing is my calling, it doesn't define me, and it's not my identity.
In high school, I drove a huge, green Taurus. The jolly green giant. Sometimes when I was driving two of my friends around, we would all pile into the front seat. Strapped in, singing N'Sync, ready for a night of stalking boys and eating at Red Robin, this was being a teenager.
Even back then, we understood the importance of a support system. No one wanted to be alone in the bare, desolate backseat. The more the merrier up front!
Thanks to everyone who's joining me up front in this new endeavor!
And, if you're wondering, this post was inspired by my skribit suggestion at the bottom of this page. Please provide me with your own suggestions and questions!

Wow! Isn't that the truth? What would we do without our support system. I can't imagine not supporting you in this endeavor - you are an awesome writer! Good luck. And knowing you, you'll remember your old support system even when you're rich and famous!
I will always be that support in the front seat of your Taurus :).
