Blog Block

I didn’t post last week because I was having too much fun running around to other author’s blogs. Because it was Thanksgiving, most of them were about giving thanks. A thread started running through my mind as I asked myself what I was truly thankful for this years. The biggies were that my son returned from Afghanistan in one piece, mentally and physically. That my husband finally stopped smoking and started paying attention to his health, my mom died over two years ago, but my mother-in-law, whom I love dearly, is still going at 80 years of age. After years of hosting Thanksgiving parties of up to 40 people and cooking for five days straight, we went to a friend’s house this year, had a wonderful time and still had leftovers. 

But I’m also thankful and humbled by the wonderful women I’ve met since I started writing romances. To a woman, they are generous of their time and expertise. From my critique groups who challenge me to write better to individuals who have taken their valuable time to help me through my queries, I hate writing queries, and it had to be like pulling hens teeth, and venting. Thank you all. I am a much better writer because of you and when I finally get published you’re all going to be mentioned.
