Thanks! I plan to do the blog rounds (I’ll check out your post, too) after we’re done with the tractor here, since it goes back tomorrow …

This is great! Your post was almost like a response to a post I just wrote, even though it was written several days earlier.

You are so welcome, Annie.

For anyone reading this and wondering what we’re talking about, check out:

Rosie, a chihuahua much loved by a family and their children, is lost in Georgia. She was last seen being picked up by a woman off the street.

DogDetective.com and FidoFinder.com are two great sites and wonderful aids in finding lost dogs.

Rosie and her family remain in my prayers.

Em,

I had to thank you for your comment. What a great idea! I hadn’t heard of those sites before but thanks to you…a LOT of people will learn about them today. I forwarded your comment to Rosie’s family.

Thank you so much!

I have 2 cats and 1 HUGE dog and they ARE my children. Stewie (the younger cat) got outside on the coldest night of the year and he was gone all night. (I don’t let my cats outside) I was in tears and wandering around the neighborhood for half the night with a flashlight. It WAS a nightmare!

Thank you, C! : )

It does inspire me, probably more than anything else — knowing how many amazing books and writers were rejected over and over again, and the one thing they have in common is that they never quit.

They are the models we cling to, us new writers on the same path. And yes, fate and serendipity are very welcome additions to the process, and can only perform their magic for us as long as we keep putting ourselves out there. : )

My favorite part of J. K. Rowling’s story is that she was on welfare when she was querying for the first book in the H.P. series.
