Review of Joni B. Cole's book, Toxic Feedback (& Giveaway!)

“…[W]riting is a solitary effort, but it doesn’t have to be a lonely one — and that is the real gift of feedback” (p. 4)

The word “feedback” sends my heart racing in excitement and throws my stomach in a lurch at the same time, a feeling similar to the last time I rode a Ferris wheel.

Happy. Content. Peaceful.

In response to a blog award (Happiness 101) and a writing prompt about happiness, I asked myself: What makes me happy?

Then, I wrote.
Happy.

Christi, I'm pretty new to Twitter, but I enjoyed the Redbook interview you posted a link to--with Allison Winn Scotch. I loved when she said: "I couldn’t have written Time of My Life, the break-out book of my career, without understanding that resonating bass note of unconditional love that we have for our children..."

That non-MFA thing had me bummed out for a while, but then someone pointed out that unless I wanted to teach, I could spent that money attending conferences and meeting agents. I took that advice. It was a much better way to spend my time and my money!
