But we learned and persevered, which is really all you can do for yourself.

So true, Kath! So true! Yeah, maybe I just need to accept it and not fret about it. That's going to be one of my New Year's goals. Hah! So true, Kath! So true!

I'm SO impatient for the simmering, but there's no rushing it! Yeah. I started the SpyScribbler blog when I started a spy thriller. I was an avid spy thriller reader. Still am. I did loads of research. Months worth. But... no spy thriller. Maybe something of that effort will seep into my stories. I know the research on the people aspect of espionage is almost like life skills for a writer, LOL. Yes, yes, YES, Angie! I’m SO impatient for the simmering, but there’s no rushing it!

I never got diagnosed, because I didn't have the hyperactive part. But I clearly remember in first and second grade, I'd come home with piles of work over Christmas break, and I'd be MONTHS behind on stupid busywork, just because I spent so much time staring out the window, LOL. There were two of us in the class that were just "different" that way. Ugh, G! I never got diagnosed, because I didn’t have the hyperactive part.

See, maybe I'm missing the gym. Maybe I'm reading too much. I read while working out, and when I'm not reading, I'm writing. Maybe I need something to take me away from the world of imagination, so my mind has time to work new things out. I don't know. I love U2, Betsy! See, maybe I’m missing the gym.

That's a great way to look at things, Heather! It sure feels like it sometimes, but there's no way around it. I’m going to have to make “Nothing is ever wasted” my mantra.
