You both gave me some great advice, and I'm very grateful. I hope that I too can soon be an introverted published author!<br /><br />For anyone who is interested, I'm starting a blog called, "The Worries and Triumphs of an Unpublished Author." The industry is so hard to crack that I wanted to create a space where unpublished authors can connect and encourage each other to reach their dream. If you're interested, please stop by at www.sheribr.blogspot.com.

Reading them is one thing, but listening to the voice of a person is so much more powerful. <br /><br />I give myself permission to feel wistful for a while, and then I'll go back to work. :)<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experiences.Yat-Yeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04028075516122778317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2411759600837193508.post-26310851362698608112009-08-12T08:23:02.071-07:002009-08-12T08:23:02.071-07:00What great pics!

There was so much to learn, so much inspiration.<br /><br />Two things from Sherman Alexie's speech stood out for me: <br /><br />Writing for children changes lives in ways an adult book never can.<br /><br />No matter who you're writing your book for, you're going to save at least one person.<br /><br />That's pretty awesome.Sherrie Petersenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11670339498152684137noreply@blogger.com
