I'm still reeling from that meeting and not reading or writing regularly. So, I may be late, but I am still subscribed and reading.kyouellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992252292707394134noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-84165669606843284722008-06-26T05:26:00.000-07:002008-06-26T05:26:00.000-07:00I say blog when you feel like it, don't blog when ...I say blog when you feel like it, don't blog when you feel like it. I still check in every day to see if there is anything new.<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on having your manuscript discussed at the writer's conference conference. That is so great! And nerve-wracking, too, I imagine.<BR/><BR/>SBAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-9930968722508901462008-06-25T17:02:00.000-07:002008-06-25T17:02:00.000-07:00I'm still here!Good luck with the writing, I am ex...I'm still here!<BR/><BR/>Good luck with the writing, I am excited to see what you produce.An Ordinary Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05497066145696617241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-54659992447302111232008-06-24T11:26:00.000-07:002008-06-24T11:26:00.000-07:00So glad it went so well for you!

(One of your loyal readers checking in!)<BR/><BR/>I don't think it's so amazing that everyone liked your writing because you are a fantastic writer and of course they liked your writing! But still, how very terrifying to be in a room full of other writers and have them critique yours. <BR/><BR/>Looking forward to more frequent posts!mindyluwhohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443030788449986652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-15549070345073873492008-06-24T07:53:00.000-07:002008-06-24T07:53:00.000-07:00Just being able to say, "I can finish my book.

Countless people say they want to write--and begin a book--but never get to the end.<BR/><BR/>I want to hear more about this conference. Where is it? Sounds like a great workshopping experience.Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-63254775352483181782008-06-24T07:08:00.000-07:002008-06-24T07:08:00.000-07:00How exciting.

I'm so glad you get to participate. And I'm with Pale Bear - the roughest of your writing for outshines what most of us can do on our best days.TARAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01411402752272720548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34687963.post-6269731557933144242008-06-23T22:47:00.000-07:002008-06-23T22:47:00.000-07:00I know you sweat and toil over what you write, but...I know you sweat and toil over what you write, but the stuff that just flows out of you is better than what most people can do. Plus, I don't think you owe us anything. I don't blog, I don't have loyal followers, but I think anytime you want to write you can and we'll be happy to read it. <BR/><BR/>Your mom isn't the only one still reading (with my pseudonym, no one need know I'm your sister-in-law). I have been checking your blog every few days for awhile now to see what you might have posted. Today I thought you might write because it's Ken's birthday (happy birthday!) and you'd want to brag about him.<BR/><BR/>I've been wondering about the writer's conference and would love to know more. And I'd love to see what you've done after the conference and feedback and stuff.Pale Bearhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17470288973292309050noreply@blogger.com
