I haven't reemerged yet, but I hope to soon. =) Well, while I'm here--your blog is so helpful, whether it's a piece of advice, or just some entertainment to break up the day, that email in my inbox is one of the few I read all the way through. =) Thank you for running this awesome blog!Amanda the Aspiringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10983953436816551075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-43407033503401746462010-10-16T16:56:58.865-04:002010-10-16T16:56:58.865-04:00I'm a longtime lurker and this is my very firs...I'm a longtime lurker and this is my very first comment here, so thank YOU Authoress for having such an amazing site :)PrincessEmmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09540976410349619827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-84713024035685805522010-10-16T16:32:06.981-04:002010-10-16T16:32:06.981-04:00I discovered Ms Snark's blog in fall of 2006, ...I discovered Ms Snark's blog in fall of 2006, while researching the ever changing business side of writing. It became my favorite online writer place. Fast forward to now. As of end September, I am online again daily to research the ever changing business side of writing. Did a search on Ms Snark to find the archives, in loving memory, and stumbled across a link to her First Victim. LOL. It's my new favorite online writer place. (great family, those Snarks). I have questions about commenting here: do you prefer a linked name for comments? I did some searches, but didn't find anything on that. Thought I'd roll up my sleeves and start commenting, had trouble signing in for a few days, but if this works, it's sorted out. <br />Thank-you Authoress, for combining the art and business of writing in a practical, necessary, and fun way.katkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10522548127828923203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-31777941703231181652010-10-16T15:13:11.775-04:002010-10-16T15:13:11.775-04:00I participated in a few Secret Agent competitions ...I participated in a few Secret Agent competitions and entered the drop the needle and first 1000 word events as well last year so I am not new here, but I am on the email list so I read every post and occasionally comment. This is such a great blog, with so much information, encouragement and feedback. I recommend it to every aspiring writer! I'm still revising my novels and haven't started to query yet, but when I do, I know they will be far better than what I might have submitted before I found MSFV. If -- when -- I am published, this site and authoress will get acknowledgment!Elizabeth Lundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225460715942282133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-70186448107416595572010-10-16T14:10:44.327-04:002010-10-16T14:10:44.327-04:00Mr A is a lucky ducky.Mr A is a lucky ducky.John Khttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09916798557666938084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-22992484412921747562010-10-16T12:45:17.938-04:002010-10-16T12:45:17.938-04:00Not my first, but I haven't commented in awhil...Not my first, but I haven't commented in awhile.

This isn't my first comment. ...Dear Authoress,<br /><br />This isn't my first comment. My first was to congratulate you for MSFV being judged as one of the 101 best Web sites for writers(another feather in your red hat). I love hats, myself. And I double-doff my favorite burgundy velvet picture hat to you. You have done and continue to do a world of good for aspiring authors. I always look forward to your posts. I find it amazing that your blog hasn't earned a film deal yet. This is so much more interesting and heartwarming than the blog-turned-film of that Julia Childs wannabe.<br />Thank you so much again for your generosity and creativity. I sincerely hope that you'll find your dream agent someday soon.Pinaynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-82549136218457486582010-10-15T16:36:08.464-04:002010-10-15T16:36:08.464-04:00Long-term lurker here, coming out of the woodwork ...Long-term lurker here, coming out of the woodwork for my first comment.

And not just the SA contests - which are great and I've participated in two - but the sharing of writer to writer. Writing is such a solitary task - it's nice to know there are others out there experiencing the same challenges and frustrations. And good to know some of them are succeeding!<br /><br />Glad to hear you benefit too Authoress, because you certainly deserve something for your time and effort :)B.Loisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-47543154189534822982010-10-15T13:23:47.891-04:002010-10-15T13:23:47.891-04:00I cannot count the times I've gotten priceless...I cannot count the times I've gotten priceless help from your blog, Authoress! <br />Thanks so much for all you do. :)Brooklyn Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11285434689426722832noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-60866221240078011472010-10-15T13:17:33.593-04:002010-10-15T13:17:33.593-04:00Hi! *waving*
