Are we authors or are we radio personalities?

What many of you don’t know is that I nearly gave up writing for a career in radio. I’d been doing a radio show with my friend Linda Lael Miller every Friday afternoon.  We loved it.  We had so much fun.  Our segment got to be so popular we were approached to do a national show.  We would be test marketed in four major cities and depending on how well we did, there was the possibility we would be syndicated.  What a great opportunity, right?  Linda and I certainly thought so.  We put together three show ideas and about half way through the next questions started to surface. “Are we authors or are we radio personalities?” It was a hard question.  Although I loved being on the radio, I loved writing more.  As hard as it was, we turned down this opportunity.  I, for one, haven’t regretted it for a minute.
