I know that things get lost in the shuffle, but it hurts when you’re the one who got lost . I did not want to be mature about it at first, that inner child still gets pretty pouty! But I do want to use this to help me stay motivated to write, write and write even more.

Becky, don’t give hope. It is so hard to read about books and bloggers and not be included, I am right there with you on that. We will get there one day, just keep writing.

Thanks again for all the kind comments.

as someone who used to run a small publishing company, i want to tell you how hard these compilations are. everything and everyone starts swimming together in a blur. they’re a nightmare to manage.

and as someone whose words were also not included in that book, i want to tell you i completely understand your feelings. and i feel for you. and if i were a better writer, i’d say something like “you’re in good company.”

but that might be an insult to you. i notice you’re very good with punctuation and capital letters. jealous.

sorry again. but your words will find a book. i know that. xoxo.

Thanks!
