Between emotional upheaval and tired eyes after a full day at the office computer, I've been printing off your blog and reading them on weekends. Comments in my head arent' quite the same!<BR/><BR/>I admire and appreciate the effort you've put into this blog. In response to yesterday's blog, my thoughts echo those of CJ, Becky, Pammer about your community here, writing as your time allows, and wondering how your readership and resonse is compared to when you began. I'm glad you answered that today. As a writer-attempting-to-be I've gained valuable knowledge and insight into honing my skill. As a reader, I appreciate the personal connection an author brings on his/her website/blog, even if it's small things like Becky talked about.<BR/><BR/>And as a Canadian, I'm glad you're thinking about us! The only book I've read of yours is Stain of Guilt from my church library -- the only book they have of yours. I'll have to bug my librarian. I've been checking out your website/blog ever since.<BR/><BR/>Emily ArseneauAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10583449.post-1129955126518526332005-10-21T21:25:00.000-07:002005-10-21T21:25:00.000-07:00Brandilyn,Whether your posting pearls on writing o...Brandilyn,<BR/><BR/>Whether your posting pearls on writing or telling stories, I love checking the blog. Sometimes I learn as much from reading the stories as I do the how-to suggestions. Thanks again for doing this.

I've only had two cavities in my life. BUT, the story is great. You missed your calling as a comedy writer. Suspenseful too, I can't wait for Monday to see how it comes out. This is like one of those serial movies we used to go to on Saturday. We had to wait breathlessly till the following week to get the end!Bonnie S.
