And my WIP finally started, but it is not going quickly.<br /><br />Jonathon-Glad yo liked it.<br /><br />Alesa-Is that a line from Miracle Max in The Princess Bride?<br /><br />Shannon-Thank you. I need to remind myself of this often.<br /><br />Tricia-Deep? Me? Naaaaah. Just trying to gently remind myself that there are reasons why things are the way they are...(confusing...)<br /><br />Laura-We should, at any rate.<br /><br />Creey QG-(Love your name!) and you are right, good things take time.<br /><br />Julie-Thank you!<br /><br />Kelly-Thank you!<br /><br />Elana-I made the Wall of Awesome??

As for someone who has driven 900 miles in three days for the blood center for which I work and gotten 7 hours sleep total doing it, I know. Thanks for your delightful blog. Nothing but success in your future and only high sales for your books.<br /><br />If you should care to visit my blog, here is the link {as a courtesy only do I put it here}<br /><br />http://rolandyeomans.blogspot.com/<br /><br />Today as I was delivering blood to a rural hospital, I smiled at a child being led out by her mother. She ran open-armed to me. Her mother shook her head and said, "It's because you have such kind eyes."<br /><br />I think that was the nicest thing that's been said to me all year.

I find that every time I do a revision of my WIP, I have grown and reached a place where I can "see" what is needed. And I wasn't ready to write what I needed to write before that moment.
