Ju...Ahhhhhh, I have actually done the toast thing!<br /><br />Just found you on my list of followers. Great! I am always amazed when a new person shows up. <br />Actually, I am not a writer, I am a story teller. I have always been the one at family events or even others social activities to come up with a story to share. Finally, my daughter, who has always told me I should write my stories down, got me started on a blog about a year ago.<br /><br />I am having great fun, but having a hard time coming up with time to blog and read the blogs of those bloggers who helped me get started. You see, I take care of my father, his house and property 24/7/365 (and have for the past 5 years). Each year it gets more difficult as he just turned 100 and I just turned 70. <br /><br />Right now this is my only link to the outside world beyond the grocery store clerks et al... And, as I am finding it to be great therapy.<br /><br />I appreciate each and every comment, so please jump in there and become a part of my therapy team.............kt<br /><br />PS....Mannnnn, Josh is a doll! <br />(I said I was 70, not dead)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01967340091034274347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4314030690340539256.post-14194564423344006722011-08-10T10:13:16.185-06:002011-08-10T10:13:16.185-06:00I love the pictures you use!

But my insanity is exceeded by the insanity of the X-number of agents/publishers who are reading my query letter AND THEN SAYING NO! Hello, do they not know my book is the next bestest thing since Potter took on Deatheaters? The most sparkliest thing since Edward? *big despairing sigh at insanity of agents and publishers* (wild maniacal LOL)<br /> Im always happy to stumble across another writer willing to rock the insanity boat and embrace the principles of HOPE and PERSISTENCE. Love this blog.<br /> "What do you call a writer who never gives up? Published."

We call it persistence.<br /><br />But then we also take any feedback we might get from our rejections, tweak a few things and try again.<br /><br />So it may not be EXACTLY the same thing... so we're only slightly insane ;)Kelley Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06373650788799372118noreply@blogger.com
