How does she ever do anything like it ever again? The pressure increasing on her with every great review, every accolade may be paralyzing. Depends entirely on how she's wired. If she's sensible (as sensible as any of could be at 20-something) she's ignoring it all and she's writing. But if she's rushing about being important, she'll have her fifteen minutes of fame and then she'll have to start all over, building a career if it's what she wants. I envy all the hype surrounding her book, but I guarantee it's a double-edged sword and that it's drawing blood.Marcella Burnardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05061631584953668058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570797399734382213.post-43399689225603960752010-10-14T14:05:04.678-06:002010-10-14T14:05:04.678-06:00That is a great picture.

What I think happens though, is that some people don't know how to handle it. They may lose all common sense, they may even forget that once they too were a nobody. <br /><br />I've given my family permission to beat the hell out of me if I ever become successful and forget the struggle to get there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2570797399734382213.post-84236060089032337052010-10-14T12:32:40.740-06:002010-10-14T12:32:40.740-06:00Very apropos post, Jeffe- we appreciate things tha...Very apropos post, Jeffe- we appreciate things that we have to work to attain much more than something that comes easily.
