Wow, there really are people out there! Thanks Evie and JawJaw and TVC for your encouragement! I'm new at this forum thing, and just forgot to check back!

I'll check out that shywriter website. I'm not shy in most other senses. I didn't start writing professionally until I'd finished raising the kids (25 and 23)and I'm trying to make up for lost time -- the selling takes too much time and I'd rather write, thank you very much! Money and fame have never been motivators in anything I've done, so I must muster up the drive -- hence the lessons needed! I believe God has a reason for the words he gives and to be a good steward I need to do my part to spread them about! I really have done some of that with my freelancing, it's the book thing that intimidates.

Nevertheless, I've put that little quote book on hold until after Christmas. I promise to let you know when I actually do it.

Thanks again for your cheery wise greetings. All the best....and I'll be back! Christmas blessings.
