Phyllis, it's always a pleasure to see you spit your coffee (when you're not making me do the same). Karen R: Thanks for the kind words and kudos to my DH, you NYT Bestselling Author, you! I'd say we both ended up with great guys! Yes, I knew some of you might be goofing off at M & M this weekend . . .

Your blog is tremendous. I'm going to save it for when I need some pants-kicking. Well done. And kudos to your husband for his support and for recognizing what we see every time we're lucky enough to read anything you post to the TARA loop!

Your comment made my whole day! Whether you write poetry, short stories, or a novel--the important thing is you're writing! Follow your dream wherever it takes you--keep following, and one day it'll come true.

I was in a similar situation while writing TRUE PRETENSES. :unlove: The loss of a loved one isn't something you "get over." You can't go under it, you can't get around it. You have to go through it--in your own way, and on your own timetable. :hug2: I think the writing marathon will help you in many ways. Do it for Mom! Many thanks to all who stopped by, and extra thanks and hugs to Julie and the rest of the Plotmonkeys for letting me play in their jungle! :heart1: Mo: Please accept my deepest sympathy for your loss.

I've been struggling to get back to writing for some time now....ever since my mom died last Feb. I REALLY needed to read your words of encouragement. Especially now as I am FINALLY getting back into writing again. I've joined a writing marathon organized by the RWA Online chapter of RWA. So wish me luck that by doing your 100 words a day (or more) I will FINALLY get to those wonderful but sad two words... THE END ;) Mo Karen,
