Ok--that sounds a little...stalkerish. However, I mean it in the most sincere & heartfelt way. I have read (and do read) many blogs from authors and am always interested in their journey. As wonderful as they are, I have always looked for a particular thing in them as writers and haven't found it. <BR/><BR/>Before this post. <BR/><BR/>Thank you for sharing this. Thank you isn't even enough. Sure, I know where your story ends (clearly as an accomplished and successful author) but it was this tiny moment in your journey that I've been waiting for. I can't even explain how touched and hopeful I feel. It isn't the "I need the best" goal but the consuming passion you feel for the work. It is everything I've been waiting to hear. Thank you. Thank you.

I know it's easy for me to think that writers with several published works just submitted a manuscript a few times and BAM it was accepted. I know that's not how it works, but reading your struggles helps me realize that it takes much work to realize your dreams. <BR/><BR/>My heart about stopped there at the end.

But once I read the evaluation and humbled myself enough to mull over the requested changes, I realized that it was an opportunity to grow as a writer. If the company decides now is the wrong time to take a risk on a new author, I'm hoping to find the perserverance you've shown in staying on the writing path.Melanie Jacobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02489615939726209573noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29222764.post-29988533149529411732009-01-16T10:03:00.000-07:002009-01-16T10:03:00.000-07:00I love how this isn't just a story of your writing...I love how this isn't just a story of your writing journey, but of your relationship with your husband.
