And Mari, I have to say I'm totally jealous of your around-the-world adventure! Allegra wow, lots of job quitting and taking risks on men! Wonder why men have to be so risky? :lol:

It was totally worth it and an unforgetable experience. The biggest risk I ever took was quitting my job and buying an around the world ticket and traveling for 11 months.

I know my family was really worried about it, afraid I wouldn't finish my education. Well not only did I finish but I went on to get my Master's degree as well. Plus the DH and I have been together 10 years now. Definitely paid off! :evillaugh: Minx Malone http://thenaughtygirlsnextdoor.blogspot.com/ Getting engaged to my college sweetheart (who I met when I was 17!) was my biggest gamble.

The biggest risk I ever took was on my husband. You see he was a friend of a friend. We got together one night. A week later, he moved in with me. Four months later, we moved to Kentucky to be near his family. On July 14, we will have been together 7 years and counting. I literally took a leap of faith and have never regretted a minute of it. Have a great day. Hello Allegra,

I love Regencies, and I love supporting fellow chaptermates :grin: . As for risk taking? I, too, left a job back in 1991 without another one lined up. But then I ended up pregnant and stopped working full time anyway :lol: . One of the biggest risks I took writing-wise was sending in my first manuscript to agents and editors who requested it at the first conference I attended -- and I found out how much I had to learn yet :cry: ! That turned out to be the best thing I ever did. I educated myself and my writing improved dramatically :smile: . Have a great holiday tomorrow! Hi Allegra, I’m looking forward to your book!
