Hi Susie,
I just read the interview about contests. Most impressive! I bet that other Poet's Garage members would love to know about it. Why don't you post the link?
Cheers,

Sharon, yes, I'm still active in both critique groups, although not as much as I'd like. My new baby is keeping me busy, but what a joy she is! Both critique groups are thriving and I credit them with helping me improve my writing. I feel so lucky to be surrounded by such caring, supportive, and ... more

Yes, she is my lovely little 10-year-old sister! Thanks for the sweet compliment. Now, if I still look as good as you do after three kids, that'll really be something to be proud of! :D

Hi Susie, I am glad that you joined the JacketFlap community. I am 10 weeks from having my third daughter, so it was very inspiring for me to read that with 3 kids your poem "Ask Yourself a Question", will be published soon. Congratulations!! Tracy

Oh ppphhhfffttt! :D Thanks, Karen. As for my three kids, I kind of wish we hadn't waited so long for #3, because now I wonder if I'm getting too old to have a sibling for her. I guess there's always grandchildren. (!!)
Have a great day!

Hi Lois! I'm still trying to figure out how these messages work. In some cases I've written messages to friends but they don't show up where I expect them to. ???? Ah well, I'll get the hang of it sooner or later. :)

Thanks, Kelsey! We call her Evi sometimes. :) And thanks, about the pic. Jim took that for my...ahem...author photo for the Half Price Books publication of Say Goodnight to Illiteracy. Yay! My first in-print publication! My poem "Ask Yourself a Question" was chosen.

Kelsey!! Wow! I've joined for about 30 seconds and I'm already feeling welcome! I'm great! Just gave birth to my third child - Evelyn, born 12/12/06. I'm getting the other two ready for school right now, so I'll have to write more later. See you around!
