Your blogs made me smile on a gloomy day in WA State while battling writer's block and waiting for my daughter to go into labor (couldn't that become a country song?). Thank you for that!<BR/><BR/>I wrote my first book - a non-fiction 2 years after the suicide of my 15 yr-old daughter, <I>I Can Only Imagine...</I>, and ended up self-publishing because between writing the story of my grief and faith and speaking about it in presentations to kids and groups, I didn't have energy enough to seek out a publisher.<BR/><BR/>Although quite a few copies sold, it was nothing like it can be. I no longer use that publisher. I'm currently half finished with my 2nd, a fiction this time, but with the same motive - to prevent youth suicide - and it's powerful. I know if the right publisher reads only a paragraph from each book, they'll grab it and lives will be touched.<BR/><BR/>I'd love to talk more and share when you have time - <BR/><BR/>Blessings to you,<BR/><BR/>Jill - ClassyNanna on Eons.com or NannaJill on MySpace.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071578858787530823.post-6154684587854826542007-09-08T04:25:00.000-05:002007-09-08T04:25:00.000-05:00Hi Linda; you are braver than I to start a blog.

It is my hope that this blog will connect readers and writers, and give up and coming writers (like myself--lol) an opportunity to make their writing known.linda_rettstatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17409729869837474776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071578858787530823.post-37881813236617141582007-09-07T09:01:00.000-05:002007-09-07T09:01:00.000-05:00Very clear intro, Linda.

I will be a regular reader.<BR/>Just had a thought - I will contact the owner of a webezine that I met at the hospital (her husband was in ICU at the same time as my brother-in-law). She recognized my name from an e-mail to her site and my book reviews in the local newspaper. I'm slapping my head that I didn't think of this sooner, but she publicizes the accomplishments of writers in her newsletter. I'll get you and Judi and Carol in her news section.Verna LaBountyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084925676261251986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8071578858787530823.post-64027030594020570402007-09-06T18:49:00.000-05:002007-09-06T18:49:00.000-05:00Hi, Linda - nice clean blogspot!

I've had a blog for three years and have only had 10 visiters total - I was told you needed to visit other blogs and make yourself known which I did a few times but it may take more than that. Also I think doing articles and giveaways for blog visits is good - judi <BR/>www.lynnromaine.com<BR/>www.ecosuspense.blogspot.comInfogypsyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15598764569161683076noreply@blogger.com
