Hey Paula, I’m really glad you took the time to leave a comment. Keep coming back, please! I understand Melissa won the free book this week, but maybe next week it’ll be your turn. And as for those one or two books you started, there’s only one way to finish ‘em–sit down, put your fingers to your keyboard and let your imagination fly. Best of luck,

Judy (who often gets called Jill, and doesn’t mind a bit.)

Hello Jill, this article was very informative and interesting. I don’t think that I could ever do what you and so many other authors do. I am so debilitated by fear, that I can’t think of words to fit on a page that tell a story well. I have to really try my hand at writing one day. I actually started one or two novels, but have never gotten around to finish it. As I was reading your article right now, my heart was racing and pounding like I was the one who had to speak to editors and try to sell my work. Loved your responses to questions that interviewers make ask. I especially liked the one about there being a formula for writing…thank God there isn’t because I would never read as much as I do now, if there was. Thank you for you inciteful words. I am glad that Julie Leto led me to this site. Happy writing.

Peace and love,
Paula R.

Uh-oh, Laurie! That story might not be what you’re looking for. You’ve heard of selkies, I imagine? Those seals that turn into men whenever the moon is full? That could well be my next subject, and selkies are sexy!

No, it didn’t, Jill. That’s what youth is for, making mistakes and learning from them. Seems to be what old age is, too, since I keep making new ones and (I hope) learning from them. Keep on working at realizing your dreams, whatever they are.

Great article, Judy. Looking forward to the next book. The real story of what really happened to that adventurous redhead on the way to Princess Louisa maybe?

Loved the article. It was nice to read that although you wish you knew then what you know now it didn’t stop you from realizing your dream. Thanks for the inspiration.
