I faced each one and forced myself to look directly and deeply into its soul." Wow! I love it!

It really was magical. <br /><br />You know what the best part of BWW was? Watching you become a writer my dear. In a sea of over 300 aspiring writers, you really rose to the top in such a way that was breathtaking. <br /><br />You know this, but it bears repeating: it was so exciting to watch you blossom as a writer. What a change in you from that first candle assignment to the final 500 word piece! It will always amaze me, and always give me the best memories. I'm so lucky to have been there for your journey, and I feel so blessed that we're still traveling together (cuz I get to read your stuff on a regular basis now!) <br /><br />You're my writing hero Roadrunner! And I love you to pieces....<br />xoxo<br />SarieSarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089539958756864952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983341647599426744.post-87747714191263630402009-06-29T09:19:31.916-05:002009-06-29T09:19:31.916-05:00Aunt Babe: (One more thing).

That's why I thought I'd ask my acquaintance to consider doing it.Cheryl Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064303602761860569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983341647599426744.post-47701386109222058772009-06-29T09:14:46.378-05:002009-06-29T09:14:46.378-05:00Aunt Babe: You are so right!

I'm considering asking her if she'd be interested in creating a few illustrations. If she agreed to do that for a reasonable fee, then I could go the self-publishing route if I chose to. I don't think I have the patience to continue submitting it to publishers and getting rejection after rejection. That's what all the writers I've communicated with have had to do before their submissions are finally, if ever, accepted and published.<br />Thank you for your comment. (You must get frustrated with me; if I'd only listen to you I'd accomplish something! I'm a stubborn Norwegian, what more need I say? Fortunately, you're also Norwegian so you don't give up on me!)Cheryl Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09064303602761860569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2983341647599426744.post-88468178539749426072009-06-28T17:10:25.666-05:002009-06-28T17:10:25.666-05:00Auntie returns to your gravel story which I think ...Auntie returns to your gravel story which I think should be a start of a children's book series.
