Time

I always thought that as time went by that the novelty of being a published author would lesson. That maybe I'd get used to seeing my name on Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Joseph-Beth Booksellers, the paperback copy of the actual book...but I haven't.
And I don't think I will. EVER.
In reality, I hope I never do. Each word I write, each character I create, is a part of me:  my heart, my soul, my tears. So, no, I hope the joyful feeling of putting my work in the hands of readers never gets old, because then, I wouldn't have a reason to write anymore.
