Yes, I can relate to "standing alone waist-deep in surf" but more importantly I can relate to having so many new friends holding hands on the shore!

I can't imagine typing any length of time on a typewriter (I've already used my backspace key five times in this comment!) and think that was a wonderful memory to share. That almost seems a more innocent time - before writers immediately saw a glowing or now-so-glowing review. There was some protection... but also not the interconnectedness with readers.

In fact, when I launched SunnyRoomStudio about a year ago (a creative, sunny space for kindred spirits) ... it was with the idea of creating community for creative souls and it has been wonderfully rewarding! Congratulations on your novel -- I will be looking forward to reading it! <br /><br />And Rebecca, you live in one of my favorite cities: St. Louis. We enjoyed our time there a great deal. If you'd like to guest in SunnyRoomStudio when your book comes out in April ... just let me know. May or June or July... also fine! Warm regards, Daisy @ www.daisyhickman.com <br /><br />......................<br /><br />The community of writers I’ve found has allowed me to change that metaphor. I now feel like I’m nearing the end of a marathon with a lovely crowd of supporters cheering me on as I approach the finish line. In turn, I get the privilege of cheering for them and celebrating their successes. I’m so grateful.Daisy Hickman https://www.blogger.com/profile/10537467133620826660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7392561731613726236.post-85149043856851335492011-01-18T05:23:12.370-08:002011-01-18T05:23:12.370-08:00Yay for you Heather!!!
