And then I heard myself saying, "Oh yeah, Mr. Grant? Well you just wait. You haven't even begun to see spunk! You've never seen the Becky Povich version of spunk! I'm going to sit my butt down, stop dilly-dallying around, and get my book completed! What do you have to say about that?"
"Well then...I'd say I guess I was wrong....about you, anyway. You go ahead and show me your spunk. Show me that finished book. Then you'll have proven to me that determination, dedication and spunk can move mountains."

ReplyDeleteHey Tammy! Thanks! I know I can do it, especially with my friends helping me along, both in person and on my blog!
Oh, Janel! You made me laugh...on all of it! I think a lot of writers hear voices from time to time, don't you?! But this was a first for me! :D
And for your ode to Dr.Seuss, I say this: Because I have spunk, oh yes I do, I won't write junk or any poo poo!
You go Becky - don't let anyone take your dreams away - not even yourself! sandie
