Did I sell any books? Nope. Not one. Zero. Nada. Zaden.
Am I going to quit writing? No. I've gone through this scenario many times, though when I was younger, disappointment hit me harder. I needed extra money when the kids were younger, but writing didn't provide it. So I got a job. Still, I could not quit writing. I had stories to tell. In the quiet of the evening, when the house settled down, I wrote.
Some people live to play golf, some live to sing, some live to shop. I live to write.
And though I did not sell any books at the book fair, my books do sell online.
As far as the gas for the car, I had money in my wallet to buy it on the way home. (I always remember to be prepared.) There was a gas station on Route 1 selling regular for $3.05 a gallon. What a bargain! Plus the proprietor actually cleaned the front AND back windows for me.
It was my lucky day. :-)

You do have a great attitude, Penny. I've always heard, and excuse my ebonics, but this is how I learned it - "Be's that way sometimes." And $3.05 a gallon??? I think we really do need to be back in NJ. It is $3.17 here where we buy it.
$3.05 is the least expensive. It's $3.08 or $3.09 at the moment at some other "bargain" gas stations. It has not been that low for years. I'm hoping it stays that way for a while. :-)

P. S. Your ebonics are cool. :-)
Sorry you didn't sell books at the book fair. I don't like to see you disappointed.
Here gas is about $6.50 US a gallon.
Mark,
Wow! That's expensive gas!
This is just the uplifting boost I needed today. Thank you for reminding me why I write.
<aside - here in southeastern Colorado, gas prices just went down to $3.45 a gallon.)
Kaye,
Glad to be uplifting. :-)
I hope everyone's gas prices go down. Sure helps the pocketbook. :-)
