Ridiculous, isn't it? Stubbornness is the #1 talent a writer needs!<br /><br />Gwendolyn--thank you!<br /><br />Pam--you ARE a poet! You take joy in playing with words and creating new, playful, funny creations. I look forward to your 15 Words or Less adventures!<br /><br />Cathy--thanks! And it would be ironic since I have such a black thumb. I don't have the gift of making things grow, but I'm in awe of the magic they make all on their own. (Thank goodness they DON'T depend on me to grow...)<br /><br />Evelyn--congratulations on the new and forthcoming grandbabies! What fun to have a new audience to share books with:>)<br /><br />Rosi--thanks!<br /><br />Audrey--I'm honored. Serendipity is wonderful, isn't it?<br /><br />Andi--the art makes me so happy:>)<br /><br />Apple Blosson, Yvona, and Shanda--thanks for stopping by and reading. Glad you enjoyed the interview!<br /><br />Nancy--I bet those same friends are always saying, "Here's a great idea for a book you can write!" Uh, thanks. But you can keep it:>) They mean well, but non-writers really have no idea what goes into this. And, of course, I'm the same way about many other arts and careers that are much more complex than they appear.laurasalashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13807781795919555208noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34170571.post-77068856452354001402012-03-17T17:48:04.510-04:002012-03-17T17:48:04.510-04:00Fantastic and inspiring news!
