Nothing ever came of it, but two years later, I wrote my first story and was excited when my mom wanted to submit it to a magazine. I don't know if she didn't do it, or just didn't tell me if it had been rejected. I wonder if she remembers that> Think I'll ask her next week when I see her...<br /><br />And since I now have two pen names, hubby says he's legitimately married to three women:)Molly Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01488325587798390008noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-48358833730930407382011-04-29T08:18:47.415-04:002011-04-29T08:18:47.415-04:00Well, Sandy, loved your post.

My parents told me she wasn't "all there" but she was my first fan.
