Grace Peterson commented on the blog post '[What's Next?] Digital v Print - The Battle Continues'
"Although I'm happy with hard copy books, I love my KIndle fire. As a die hard word nerd, one of my favorite apps is the dictionary. Just put your finger on an unfamiliar word and up pops the definition. Put your finger on it again and it's…"
Grace Peterson left a comment for Rhonda Rae Baker
"Hi Rhonda, thank you for the friend request. You're in Washington I see. I'm just south of you in Oregon. We've had such gorgeous spring weather. I hope you're enjoying it. Happy writing. :)"
Grace Peterson commented on the blog post 'I hope this piques your interest'
"How about "complement" and "compliment"? Or "pore" vs "pour"? She pores over the dental records looking for a match." And my all-time biggest quandary: "Guess what?" If I'm correct…"
Grace Peterson commented on the blog post 'Nine Lessons from a Book Tour'
"Beautiful. It's all about connecting with people and I love this. "
Grace Peterson commented on the blog post 'On Credentials, Being an Autodidact, and Why I Never Got an MFA'
"Great post. Didn't Abraham Lincoln teach himself? And he didn't have the Internet. I think in this day and age, anything is possible with determination. There is no shame in being self-taught. "
Grace Peterson commented on the blog post 'Book marketing tip: Make it easy for your fans to help you'
"Excellent advice. I'm going to implement this as soon as my books are published. Thank you for sharing. "
Grace Peterson commented on the blog post 'The Book Blahs: When Backwards (For This Writer Anyway) Is The Only Way Through.'
"I never write a full anything before revising. Backtracking to read what I've just written helps me think about how I want to go forward, if that makes sense. Plus I guess I like "hearing" my own voice. I like to smooth and polish as…"
Grace Peterson commented on the blog post 'The Publisher/Author Relationship—The True Story'
"Well, Brooke, not a total success by a long shot but I'm on my way. :)
You're kind of cool when you're worked up. :) "
Grace Peterson commented on the blog post 'The Publisher/Author Relationship—The True Story'
"I agree Brooke. I could read Mr. Levin's consternation between the lines. I just thought maybe he was going a little overboard for effect. And controversy. Not a very healthy way to gain readership, I suppose but it works.
I received over…"
Grace Peterson commented on the blog post 'The Publisher/Author Relationship—The True Story'
"I kind of interpret Mr. Levin's article as somewhat tongue and cheek, especially the first half where he admits that authors are "a strange lot." (Are we?) :) Perhaps authors have been too eccentric with a broad sense of entitlement…"
Grace Peterson commented on the blog post 'TIPS OF THE TRADE: Without Whom: Why I always read the acknowledgments page first'
"Great post, although I think I would get a kick out of reading an acknowledgement of a pet if it were written in an entertaining way. For instance if the book were of the horror genre, "Thank you Bowzer for keeping your ears tuned to the…"
Grace Peterson commented on the blog post 'What's Your Book? A Book For All Of Us.'
"Wow, Kamy, I knew I wanted to buy Brooke's book but you really sealed the deal. Great review! Congrats, Brooke. "
Grace Peterson commented on the blog post 'The Reluctant Self-Publisher: Me'
"Oh my. I didn't realize your agent had your manuscript for two years!
You know, you mention that "seal of approval"? Well to land an agent is a HUGE deal. Your work obviously really spoke to her/him or they wouldn't have agreed…"

Sarah Paul said… Yes a pill to replace sleep...isn't it wonderful to love your work so much that you don't want to sleep? I told my children, choose work you will love! Whether the money follows or not! And they did, and their lives are much better for it.

Thanks, Grace. I, too, need to set aside some time to look over things more carefully. Sometimes I get a bit overwhelmed by all of it!
