A co-worker gave me one for Christmas a few days ago. Now, she is an aquaintance. She does not know me very well and I don't think she knows my passion is writing. I had been seeking direction on finally pursuing my writing in a more serious manner. I could NOT believe it when I opened her gift and it was The Muse of Writing.....it was affirmation to me. I adore the quote on there too!! I want to see more of your "Ladies"! I may be giving them out next year, hoping to inspire and encourage!!CLRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01207164054349835246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-56393976250960525782008-02-21T15:33:00.000-08:002008-02-21T15:33:00.000-08:00I was just going to write how inspiring your story...I was just going to write how inspiring your story was, but then I noticed that pretty much every person that commented let you know how inspiring it was so I'm not going to bug you with information you're well aware of. What I will butg you with, though, is how much I love your Lain's Ladie Collection! My favourite is the one that reads "I don't know what inspiration is, but when it comes I hope it finds me working picasso". I painted an abstract and used the quote on it. <BR/><BR/>Keep on rockin'!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21997604.post-69789660612742903912007-05-31T08:23:00.000-07:002007-05-31T08:23:00.000-07:00What an inspirational story!

And I'm so proud to own one of the early "Ladies." And glad that you took the plunge, despite the beating heart, to talk to me at that SCBWI conference years ago.
