What a great realization! You've taught your daughters never to accept labels and now you're applying that to yourself. Because "writer" is a label, although a positive one. You're far too complex and multi-faceted--like a beautiful gem--to be put in a box with one or two labels. You're Peg. And I, for one, like Peg-the-person. I think you'll feel a lot freer this year now.

Now see, me, I'm going through the "Am I good enough to try to get published?" thing.
