(not in a crazy obsessed manner.) Just getting to know you, i guess. and reading about your process. Congrats on the first draft.... (but what happened about the girl who was so very very angry with you? if you dont want to answer, that's ok. I'm being nosey, i guess, but can we call it caring, instead?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3685743483548397573.post-89797339896380336232008-07-14T14:17:00.000-04:002008-07-14T14:17:00.000-04:00Excellent point Amanda. It'd be great for everyone who comes here to get a taste of your book Jim.<BR/><BR/>I also realized I'm a horrible virtual friend, since congrats in person are not enough these days.<BR/><BR/>I'm really proud of you. You've worked diligently to fulfill a dream, all while holding down a "real" job. I know you've put in countless hours at the library and given up many a weekend to see this day. In the process you've probably written at LEAST four book worth of rewrites. <BR/><BR/>I can not say how much I look up and respect you for making this happen.<BR/><BR/>CongratulationsSenorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04730683557232262669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3685743483548397573.post-56734908927969567542008-07-12T11:56:00.000-04:002008-07-12T11:56:00.000-04:00Quit stalling Jim - where's the chapter??Amandahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09594327337549020199noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3685743483548397573.post-3734229262780006762008-07-04T13:00:00.000-04:002008-07-04T13:00:00.000-04:00Huzzah!<BR/><BR/>Gratz, Jim! I'm so happy for you! And I second Amanda: please go ahead and post a preview-chapter.<BR/><BR/>I know how frustrating it is when life interferes with your writing. But here's a quote my writing group has been tossing around of late: <BR/><BR/><I>If you want to write, write. This is your life. You are responsible for it. You will not live forever. Don't wait. Make the time now, even if it is ten minutes once a week.<BR/><BR/>~Author Unknown,</I><BR/><BR/>Once again, congratulations!<BR/><BR/>~RoseJ.
