Comment by Catrina Barton on July 25, 2012 at 12:28pm: Rebecca, Congrats on your 500th blog post! :) What a fabulous way to celebrate. :)

Comment by Rebecca Trotter on July 25, 2012 at 12:24pm: Hi! I wanted to let y'all know that in honor of my 500th blog post, I'm making my book The Upside Down World ~ A Book of Wisdom in Progressavailable to download for free from Amazon through Sunday. The book is an eclectic (but not scattered!) collection of essay, memoir, poetry, storytelling and more with original artwork. It's the sort of quirky gem that the big publishing houses would never let through the filters.

I hope that if you have any interest in inspirational/religious/Christian/spiritual writing, you'll check it out.

Thanks and happy writing and marketing!

-Rebecca

Comment by Nancy MacMillan on July 21, 2012 at 1:44pm: Welcome, Linda, and Congratulations on your memoir! I now must pop by and give it a look. My memoir, Diary of a Vet's Wife, Loving and Living with Pot Traumatic Stress Disorder is due to be released in about a month. Heading over to your site, my curiousity drives me :)

Comment by Linda Hoye on July 20, 2012 at 5:30pm: Hi all, thanks for letting me into the group. I'm trying to get reoriented to SW as I've been away for a time busy with book-related activities. I published my memoir, Two Hearts: An Adoptee's Journey Through Grief to Gratitude,in June. I'm looking forward to learning about everyone else's projects too.

Comment by Nancy MacMillan on July 18, 2012 at 8:48pm: Barbara, thanks for your encouraging comment. Each new voice helps quiet my jitters. :)

Comment by Barbara K. Richardson on July 18, 2012 at 9:07am: That is a really compelling photograph, Nancy. Good choice for the cover!

Comment by Nancy MacMillan on July 18, 2012 at 8:13am: Within a month, my self-published memoir will be out the closet. My new post, PTSD / "Diary of a Vet's Wife"/ Sneak Peek at the Cover, leads the way. It's rather scary. Would love your comments.
