If you quit writing, I think the sun would fall out of the sky. It would for me at least.<br /><br />And you will get published. The fact that you haven't is, quite frankly, an injustice to the book world (in my humble opinion, of course).<br /><br />Keep it up, and I can't wait to read your ghost story! I'm sure it's fabulously superb.Aliciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14507143618164192761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715761634355275020.post-11260332986408244422009-05-10T08:31:00.000-04:002009-05-10T08:31:00.000-04:00Thanks Libby, Jacqui and Diane - it is so awesome ...Thanks Libby, Jacqui and Diane - it is so awesome to have a cheering section! And yes Diane, we do rock as mom's, don't we? Our kids are VERY cool, and so are the kids we create in our books!

I know the submissions process sucks, and if you wanted to go into marketing you would have studied in it school, but it's going to happen for you some day. Some day soon, let's hope.<br /><br />And have a happy mother's day ... I agree with Jacqui, we all have our days when we feel like pathetic loser-moms, but then we just need to look at how cool our kids are and realize we rock!Diane Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04128401898400900879noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715761634355275020.post-53832882372216777492009-05-09T18:59:00.000-04:002009-05-09T18:59:00.000-04:00You go, girl!

Glad to be part of your triage team!<br />Anyone who has the fortitude to negotiate public transit and stand in the rain at a game to be there for her children absolutely has what it takes to be a writer!Elizabeth Mosierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13661151352216613047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715761634355275020.post-62981927202707612009-05-09T13:31:00.000-04:002009-05-09T13:31:00.000-04:00Don't quit.

As I always say, sometimes you are the mom who remembers snack; sometimes your kids are the starving vultures begging for other people's goldfish.Jacquihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08277260387578439327noreply@blogger.com
