I cant think of anything to add… I think ya said it all hon! Lol! As a now middle aged artist who loves to read but can’t write and can’t afford to read only the big box store books, I am pretty dang thankful that Indie authors see fit to share with a world so quick to judge!!! People forget… it is real easy to slam somone else when it is something you haven’t done! It takes a CONSIDERABLY bigger person to put themselves out there and say “take your best shot”. I am notorious for catching every screw up in a movie.. and yes, despite my kindle’s desire to prove otherwise, I am a spelling nag..lol. I shut up and just think wow… well maybe those words didn’t really fit but since I love run on sentences… I will just relax and have fun. Tis a blessed shame that more people cant learn that old saying..”If you have nothing nice to say, stick to saying nothing at all.”
Oh and I am in the beginning of “Central” and I vow to finish both that and “Foretold” today with reviews and links to follow as soon as I am not sick as a dog. Lol. But thank you because the distraction is beyond appreciated at times like this!!!!!:)
Becky

Aww! Thanks, Bethany! You know the feeling is definitely mutual. You’re remarkably talented, and I’m very excited to see what you come up with next!

I know that I often feel discouraged and wonder if I am just kidding myself by thinking I can be a writer, then someone like you makes me realize that we all have these moments of doubt, and it is normal. Then you get a sweet comment from a reader or a word of encouragement from a fellow writer, and you remember why you love it! You are one if my favorite writers… I think what you have accomplished is amazing, and I will always pass that along and have your back!

Aww–thanks, J.C.! Developing the cover with my designer, Devan, is the most fun part about the publication process. Glad you like it!

I GOT to check it out! So here I am! As usual, the cover is GAW-JUS! Well done for not giving up and for seeing this story through!

Appreciate you stopping by, Charmaine! Couldn’t agree more about writers making the best support groups. :)
