This IS a WONDERFUL reason to be excited! Your natural enthusiasm shines on these pages, like the energy you bring to the writings I've read of yours.<BR/><BR/>You hit it on the mark about pride, joy, and thrilled at your deserved achievement. It's terrific. I love reading that Jim illustrates your writings. <BR/>(It is a downer when others are not as excited as you, as in "ho hum." I'm STILL proud and excited when my work is accepted to certain artshows. I hope that incredible tingly feeling that grows from the pit of my stomach and rises to the twinkle in my eyes never leaves. Each time is like the first time to me.<BR/>Congrats again! I hope to meet you some day at a book signing or casually. I have very exciting news in regard to someone who bought one of my paintings, but I haven't been able to stop to breathe long enought to compose a blog post that is beyond: Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-40897527752368429962007-05-03T14:18:00.000-07:002007-05-03T14:18:00.000-07:00CONGRATULATIONS LAINI!!!

Hell just today I was reading my issue of Writers digest and saw the write up about you and your book in there. EYE almost flipped out and I only know you very very minutely through SS. Looking forward to when it comes out. RE: the seeing someone reading it idea. I kind of think along those same lines, though in MY version I am walking in a store and it happens to be on the shelf. <BR/><BR/>BDbriliantdonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05159881776835603748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-49872322932648134972007-04-24T10:40:00.000-07:002007-04-24T10:40:00.000-07:00I'm so excited about getting your book into my han...I'm so excited about getting your book into my hands that I feel like a big ol' spaz too.
