Two weeks ago, I met online a most amazing, writerly woman. She is very talented, funny and supportive...and I'm extremely grateful for some advice she gave me concerning my memoir. More on that at a later date.......

ReplyDeleteThanks for the head's up, Becky! Hope you are doing well.
Hi Karen! You're very welcome! And thank you....yes, I'm doing great...especially today, the sun finally came out and we have warm temps! :)
DeleteHave one going for the Chicken Soup calls. So glad you met someone who encourages you-- that's so important!
ReplyDeleteHey Julie! That's great! Want to share which book it's for??
DeleteAnd you are so right about us writers having people who encourage us. We can never have too many, can we? And everyone seems to provide something new and different!
Nice to see your blog pop up this morning, Becky. Thanks for Chicken Soup list. I have never had much luck there but maybe I can stir up something again for one of these. Warm today...but they said we would have rain, frost, and maybe snow flakes by Thursday. So what planet am I living on?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteAwww, thank you Ms Claudia! I sure am missing all of you....havent' read blogs in toooo long.
DeleteAnd yes....keep trying for Chicken Soup! Heck, send at least one story for every book possible! It helps your odds! :)
Talk about another planet! Thank goodness it's gorgeous today. I'm getting out to do errands in just a bit. How about Planet Flip-Flop??
Good information, thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Christine! Thanks much for stopping and commenting! Maybe you have a story for one or more of these books?
DeleteThanks for sharing. I'll try to tone myself down and submit. I hope you're all moved in now, and able to get your car out of the garage!
ReplyDeleteHey Val! Yes, you really should submit a few stories. I know you have it in you to "tone" yourself down a bit! :)
DeleteAnd thanks, yes we can get our cars in and out of the garage, but the rest of the house still needs a lot of work!
It's hard to find the time to do everything, isn't it? Good luck trying!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! It sure is...and I've learned it's just not possible!
DeleteI have submitted 5 different articles to Chicken Soup for the Soul, but I never heard a word from them about any of them. It was a discouraging experience, and I'm loathe to try anymore.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that you met someone who has encouraged you with your memoir. Encouragers are such a blessing!!
Hey Patti! I'm sorry you haven't had any luck with Chicken Soup, but it doesn't mean you can't write, ya know. Maybe try a different venue, like the Not Your Mother's Book On...
DeleteThey're great people, too!
And yes, you are so right: Encouragers are such a blessing!
Lots of good CS submission opportunities. I just need to get writing.
ReplyDeleteHi Donna! Yes, you are sure to have stories!!
DeleteMaybe I'll dip my foot in the Chicken Soup pool. I'll have to tone down the sarcasm and put on my rose-colored glasses!
ReplyDeleteYes ma'am! You and Val both! I KNOW you can do it!! Just look at your story for LTYM!!
DeleteGood luck to all the talented people who are playing.
ReplyDeleteHi EC! Great to hear from you! How's everything Down Under? I guess you're coming into autumn now, aren't you?
DeleteThanks Becky! I've recently done some literary magazine submissions. The "decline" is difficult to stomach but the "accept" is glorious! all and all, its worth it.
ReplyDeleteHey Green Monkey Gal! I've missed you! Thank you SO MUCH for stopping and commenting! I just left a comment at your blog, too. You are remarkable!
DeleteI really want to do a couple of these. I hope I don't let the deadline come and go. . . :) I also need to read up on creative essays--this is not my strong point. Thanks for sharing. Can't wait to hear about your positive interaction with woman about your memoir. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Margo! Good to hear from you! Don't feel bad if creative essays aren't your strong point....I can't write fiction! And yes, I'll share more info sometime later! :)
DeleteYou are always a good resource, Becky!
ReplyDelete=)
Thanks, Ms. Sue!! Are you going to submit anything?? Let me know!
ReplyDeleteHey Becky - Thought of you today when I tidied up my office and dusted the framed blue chicken. :)
ReplyDeleteAwwww, thanks Lisa! I did tell you, didn't I, that I dropped my poor chicken about a year ago and the head broke into a LOT of pieces?! I almost cried! Ron still says he will try to put all the pieces back together! I'm so glad I took the pictures....sent one to you...and I still have them on my laptop! :)
DeleteGreat to see you back. I know how busy moving can be. Looking forward to seeing those pictures!

Hi Pat! Thank you! I'll show pictures as soon as I can!
DeleteThanks for sharing these links, Becky. You are always so positive and encouraging to other writers. I appreciate your upbeat attitude and cheery posts. Hope you are having a good week! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, Daisy! You're so sweet! I feel terrible that I haven't been to your blog in AGES.... :(
DeleteYou're a much better blog-friend than I am!
