Dear Tessa,

Just went to your blog and left a message. What a great blog! Great Pumpkin! Today for the first time I wrote about what I'm learning - a departure for me, but am following new passions - graphic novels and mixing it with my career - education. I 'd love for you to check it out - let me know what you think: www.departingthetext.blogspot.com

Anyway, loved your blog entry and pumpkin. Will come back for more.

Welcome to Global Writers, Tessa! Please do post a self-intro on the wall so we can learn about you and your writing and your global life. Really looking forward to staying connected! All my best,

Tracy

Wow I feel like I'm in a laberynth. I suck at these online get together things, takes me for ever to get a feel for how they work. So right now I'm not really sure who I'm writing, but hopefully some one out there will read this.
Yea, I would love to talk about the journey in publishing for a first time author. Espesially any info and tips from those who already have published.
Then, show me your story if I show you mine. That's cool too. I could use some oppinions.

Welcome to the fiction forum!

My first experience learning about Iceland was reading Journey to the Centre of the Earth when I was a kid. I always wanted to go there. I have been to Norway about 10 times. They have the Trolls and Elves all over, too. And ghosts ;) Maybe if I come to Iceland, I can see a ghost. I have always wanted that sort of experience!
