Take a Moment & Rejoice!

    On the solstice I realized half the year is gone and I'm not exactly speeding toward accomplishing my 2010 goals! So I sat down with a tablet and planned. Said planning included reading “Get Known Before the Book Deal” and I am so glad I did! I cannot believe all the great tips and strategies you've given me. I have high hopes for my writing future. This is one book I am going to keep forever (of course, with all the tabs, dog-ears, highlighting and underlining, nobody else could read it). Thanks for writing this book!

    Aw shucks, thanks Lynne. I'm so glad that you re-evaluated and re-planned. Way to share a great example with all of us. 🙂
