Today is the start of the "I'm Thankful for my Readers Blogfest" hosted by Tara Tyler and Vicki I think this is a great idea, and I'm really happy I get to participate. So, for the first thank you--Thanks Tara and Vicky!!
I'd like to say a a few more special thank you's. One to KAREN DENISE, for being the best critique partner ever and reading my chapters a zillion times. I'm so grateful I get to work with you!! Also, to STACY STOKES, you were a great beta reader and your advice was awesome!! I'm so glad I found you! To JOHN KRISSILAS for nudging me into entering Pitch Live after I tried to chicken out. That got me three requests I'm anxiously waiting to hear about, so thanks John!! And, lastly, to ALEX CAVANAUGH, who everyone knows is awesome. Alex has commented on almost every post I've ever written. I don't know how you do it, Alex, but it's definitely appreciated!!And, for the rest of you who I didn't name, I am grateful for all of you!! This goes out to everyone who has helped me try to achieve my goals.
Thank
you for reading my story
And
thanks for the advice
Thanks
for telling me to never give up,
To
keep on rolling the dice.
Thanks
for the revisions
And
all the notes on my book
Thanks
for giving me options
When
I didn’t know where to look
Writing
is the closest thing to magic
That
I will ever find
And
I’m so very grateful
To
meet others of my kind
You’ve
made my journey brighter
I
know I’m part of a team
That
all supports each other
In
reaching for our dream
And
all those days I whine and cry
And
say that I can’t write
Thanks
for telling me I’m not allowed
To
leave my pages white
Most
of all I thank you
For
believing in me
Because
the stories I write
Set
me free
To
live in a world
Where
anything is real
Where
the enchantment of the pages
Is
the only thing I feel.
And, lastly, I got my kids, their friend, and my husband all in on saying thank you with me, cause they are all awesome. Hope you guys like it! And a special thank you to my husband for taking like an hour and a half to edit this together! For some reason, I couldn't upload the video straight to my blog, but just click the link. :)
