It really is wonderful to know I have such a great community of writers (and friends) behind me. Here's hoping there is more news like mine soon.<br /><br />And, Authoress, get to writing already! Don't worry about this place. I have a feeling it will take care of itself while you take care of the writing and non-writing life.<br /><br />And have you ever thought about hiring an intern? (Meaning, finding someone to volunteer to help with some of the more mundane aspects of your blog?) Just a thought...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14174984023086255056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-61747844452649892062009-08-08T09:25:20.301-04:002009-08-08T09:25:20.301-04:00I'm getting to your Thursday Thoughts on Satur...I'm getting to your Thursday Thoughts on Saturday morning. You know why? I've had to put blog reading and blog writing a little further down on my list -- because it was overwhelming me and nothing else was getting done. So now I read a handful of blogs a day, comment on some, and move on. I used to go down my list and read 100 every day. You know what? I wasn't writing! Of course my "real" work was getting done, but as usual, I was left to the end of the to-do list. <br /><br />You could enlist help on the blog. Guest posts or someone to help monitor comments or write different pages. I'd throw my hat into the ring for that.Amy Sue Nathanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13854920309673361956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-87097869497660211842009-08-07T09:01:39.289-04:002009-08-07T09:01:39.289-04:00I like the blog just the way it is, but that's...I like the blog just the way it is, but that's me. And of course, you should put your writing first. <br /><br />Now as for the cashews, I can't help you there, but I did see chocolate covered cashews at the store the other day.

Didn't there used to be a saying "should be seen and not heard"?<br /><br />Writing outside of life, there's no such thing as life outside of writing.<br /><br />Husbands are made for changing tires, mowing lawns, and looking for cashews from non-reticent supers. Any man worth his salt will find the nuts it rests on.<br /><br />My secret word is hicas.

I can only imagine the amount of work to put in to MSFV, but it shows. <br /><br />Although, I have to say I got a little depressed when you didn't post while you were on vacay.

You have inspired me to tackle mine with more discipline. Sometimes I look at how much I need to fix and it seems so overwhelming. <br /><br />I hope you don't feel pressured to do all those things you mentioned. Your readership, I'm sure, is patient and loyal. I think it's great you have that 1000 word queue, you can always post one of those on a day you don't feel like posting. And I'm not just saying that 'cause I have one in the queue. Okay, maybe I am.<br /><br />Thanks for everything.Sheila JGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15371582292020275894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-51447674503419161342009-08-06T14:42:11.547-04:002009-08-06T14:42:11.547-04:00Authoress -- your blog is indespensible to us aspi...Authoress -- your blog is indespensible to us aspiring types. I've learned so much since I first came here, both about the whole agent process (buy her book, people!) and hooks, queries and general openings. So much that an aspiring writer needs to know before they ship off their baby to market. However, you are a writer and must write, just as the rest of us must. Whatever you do here must come second or third after Mr. Authoress and your own writing. I'll leave the order of importance up to you ;). <br /><br />You rock!<br /><br /><a href="http://missaspirant.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Miss Aspirant</a>.Elizabeth Lundhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09225460715942282133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3615675676021392217.post-82682064767457348042009-08-06T14:36:31.054-04:002009-08-06T14:36:31.054-04:00I'm very concerned about the cashews, really I...I'm very concerned about the cashews, really I am.
