Just felt like this needed to be said today.

And tomorrow.

Congrats! I can't wait to read!

Sounds fantastic.
Congrats everyone!

Congratulations to all!

This is gold.

Congratulations! I look forward to reading.

I wish I could but I'm in round 6 revision (hoping 6th time is the charm) of my novel that was inspired by my 2021 FWF entry.

There’s always that one child on school photo day…

Congratulations!

Great session.
Love listening to Ana's story of her crushing success!
And of course, love listening to you and Brenna!

He found his magic.

Done!

Great tips, Shannon.
They all hit home with one hitting with an extra punch.
I just finished my first 'experimental' manuscript in dialogue only. Through the entire writing process, my inner-CP relentlessly questioned, 'I dunno about this'.
Next time I'm going to listen to him harder : )

For Father’s Day my youngest (7) christened me with a new nickname-Eiffel Daddy (he knows I love Paris).

I know there’s a PB churning here but all my ideas so far are not Eiffel Tower caliber.

Any suggestions to help spark the creative fire?

Looks pretty darn good...spots and all!

This could be the scientific explanation of why some people's behaviors/comments make us scratch our heads.

HANK was a Christmas gift for our 12 yo very reluctant reader. He finished it yesterday...and drumroll please...he liked it (to put in perspective, he likes nothing). He liked it so much, he asked, "does the author have any other books?"

You friggin' rock!

Fantastic news! Congratulations!

My husband was an English major. He's now an attorney. He frequently comments that many attorneys have poor writing skills.

During the final years of my father’s life he spent hours sketching.

The pic on the left is one of his originals.

The pic on the right is a Christmas gift from my husband. He blew up the original and painted using his own artistic expression.

One of the best gifts I’ve ever received.

Congratulations!

Jingle is still a little rough around the edges when it comes to social skills.

Reading it now. Loving it.

This.

Thanks for the heads up, Dani.
I'm embarrassed to ask, but how do I identify those who create with Gen AI?

I can't wait to hold it in my hands!!
