How wonderful new life is.

Corban is loved and wanted, so he has had his first blessing.

Yes, if you were closer, we would create the world, what fun.

Good, I am glad you are writing, and don’t stop.

Local is fine, and possibly better, You will know who you are working with.

With the local area as subject material, it will sell for years in the local museum and gift shops.

Keep in mind that many of the experienced writers self publish and do well with it.

I know that Mike Savage has the last couple that he brought out. One is brand new subject material, of the stories that he tells on air of his life and the other was on raising kids the natural way.

The kid book was 25 years old and out of print, he said 25,000 were ordered, before he went to print, 5,000 in the first week end.

LOL, I forgot, who I also heard on the radio a few days ago, said he had written the articles over the years, then put them into a book and was amazed at how well they sold.

As I understand it, Nora Roberts does not write every book under her name, nor does Danielle Steel, LOL, I know that name is not quite right, I can tell you the subjects of her books, but never have remembered her name.

And if you have not read her book on the Titanic, it is fantastic.

Smiles, as I think, “Goody, now she can write a new childrens story for Corban. A happy one, or one about his history, before it disappears.

Corban is very much loved! Can’t wait to get my hands on him—going up this weekend.

I have a good following with my articles, so... I enjoy writing, and—not bragging—but I am good at it. I’ve read a lot of stuff that was published by big name authors that’s not as good as some of my stuff. My friends and relatives like my books. :) Not that they’re prejudiced or anything! And it makes me happy, and that’s a great deal of it.

Nora Roberts publishes under at least one pen name—because she has such a back log of unpublished material they were trying to get out. Shaking head. I can’t imagine.

My only problem is time! Everything, and I do mean everything, gives me an idea for a new story! I have about 8 novels going right now and I switch back and forth whenever I get an idea.

Have a great day!
