Wonderful story, Lizbeth. Isn't it amazing how such random things can have such a big influence in our lives? Clearly, you were meant to write this book. Congratulations!

Helpful article - thank you! But I clicked on EssayKitten...isn't that cheating? They write term papers for kids etc. We are supposed to be writers. How have you used it?  (Also, like Patricia, I have adblock too so couldn't get brand advocates)

Very good advice on something I've been wondering about. Thank you, Brooke. But - what is a praise sheet? The first pages of a book where a bunch of endorsements are printed...??

Aha! Excellent. And as a boomer mom I can relate....

Very wise stuff here. Thank you for writing. But - what is your one true line??? I'm so curious.

Thanks, Kathy, had no idea!

Persistence, persistence. That, plus you have learned to shrug off the negatives. Lots of lessons in this - thanks, and congratulations!

This is wonderful advice - thanks for thinking it through for me...! (Maybe now I'll attack those closets, too)

Awesome, Kamy. I already want a phone with that app. Ordered your book through Indiebound so I could get it at my neighborhood book store. I don't know how you can wait until April!

Very helpful. Yes, we've heard a lot of this, but you've put it together in a great package. I'm about to start a crucial re-write and this is an excellent, succinct reminder of how to engage the reader right off the bat - so important! Thanks for...
