“Writing isn't about making money, getting famous, getting dates, getting laid, or making friends. In the end, it's about enriching the lives of those who will read your work, and enriching your own life, as well. It's about getting up, getting well, and getting over. Getting happy, okay? Getting happy.”

You too, I'll try to keep up ;-).

I think it's great that you read so much and keep authors posted. We don't hear enough from readers.

Ehrhardt over the internet, because I kept crossing her path. Now I feel that way about you. I promise it's not 'intentional,' ;) but I can't imagine having better literary company!

Glad you read that journal and that you found the story. I was impressed with the issue as a whole. Love how they represent all genres on one theme.

Hi Tara,Thank you very very much for adding,accepting me as your friend, thanks for your comment in book excerpts too..you have around 162 friends,and it requires a great talent to locate friends comment and to answer it.
Just want to wish all my goodreads friends a happy and safe holiday, with lots of time to relax and read! Thanks for the support in 2009.
Hi Barbara:Thanks, liked your review of the new TC Boyle book.
I'll let you know when the book will be ready. I hear mid-May?
Not sure why goodreads was giving you a hard time on the comments page. Hopefully a one-time glitch!

(Will goodreads let me comment on your page today?!?)Hi, Tara!
