"Great blog, Nancy! And I applaud your courage in telling a story that's often unspoken about returning vets. I'll be watching your publishing story unfold, and I'm interested in learning the POD publisher you chose.
Thanks for sharing…"

"Oh how funny--you're on vacation and you're doing all this research! No wonder your husband is concerned. :)
A point of clarification on your site going down "con" that the WP article mentions. Remember how I told you that…"

"Hi Kathy,
Yes, Kathy, I'll say you certainly have been more creative design-wise on your blogger sites! But still with your Wordpress.com site, you are using just the "out-of-the-box" theme. WIth Wordpress.org, you have your choice of…"

"Andrea,
That's such an easy question. Wordpress—I'm a huge fan! You are very wise to ask around to see what other women are using.
First of all, you need to know that there are two types of WP sites, hosted using Wordpress.com…"
Diane Amento Owens commented on the blog post 'Thank you for being a writer and supporting women writers!'
"Wow, that poem is a good one for writers, Brooke! Thank you for sharing it. Which book of Mark's is that from?
I don't yet have a book of his poetry--just the Awakening one and the wonderful The Exquisite Risk. The poem reminds me of what…"

"Hi Ronda and Welcome to SheWrites!
I noticed your comment to Brooke's posting of Mark Nepo's wonderful poem after I thanked her for introducing me to him. Considering the work you do and your writing, I'm sure you'd find his…"

"I am grateful to you, Brooke. Your newsletters earlier this year on the editing process were fabulous, and I even sent one to a writer who wanted me to edit her work but hadn't a clue what edited involved. But most of all, I am grateful that…"
Diane Amento Owens liked Tayari Jones's blog post Five Things I Wish I Had Known When I Published My First Book
Diane Amento Owens commented on the blog post 'Keep the Secret, Nourish the Sacred'
"Like you, I'm horrible at keeping secrets and especially hate it when people keep secrets from me.
I like your last line...the sensitivity to know what to contain and what to reveal. So hard for us enthusiastic sharers! But I believe that this…"
Diane Amento Owens commented on the blog post 'Emergence- The Art of Becoming Visible'
"I read this because the picture hooked me, then I saw the reference to Sue Monk Kidd's book. Thank you for your wisdom, your willingness to shed your layers and share them publicly. "In order to grow, to become, we must emerge." How…"
Diane Amento Owens commented on the blog post 'The Daring Writer's Guide #3, I Have No Time'
"Love your comment about failing/flailing. I've found that the solution to both problems is to join a women's writing group. A writer's group gives a woman accountability, support and a deadline. And the other women understand when a…"
Diane Amento Owens commented on the blog post 'Writing for Survival'
"Love tip #6 and your observation that "snark is about the person giving it." I prefer to use the less negative term "feedback" rather than criticism so I liked that you framed criticism as "honest reaction." Great…"
