Well done for keeping at it and then telling us about it - all with a sense of humor. :)Gabi Coatsworthhttp://www.gabicoatsworth.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422555164465305734.post-50501994916076020882015-10-07T08:27:21.780-07:002015-10-07T08:27:21.780-07:00I'm glad you kept at it.

That being said, I'm so happy for your success.

And I'm so proud you stayed the course and put out so many fabulously funny books (which are helping me balance out the stress of not having quit the full time evil day job + part time job to write because...just can't right now--sometimes being a responsible grown up is less than fun). And I love love love hearing other writers speak out about the long haul struggle because those aren't the blog posts going viral and we NEED that perspective to balance out all the "overnight" successes or wunderkins who keep the hope alive that all you need is just one book, the right book (and consequently drives us all a little bit nuts). So here's to your success and your wonderful sense of humor.Kait Nolanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11025850207152419115noreply@blogger.com
