Thanks so much for the compliment. I think insecurity is a real obstacle for writers. Also, writing is difficult.It takes a lot of patience, concentration and passion. The passion, I think is the most important. Without it, writing becomes boring.
The passion is our driving force. They say, we are our own worst critics! We all have our moments, we need to climb back up on the horse, sometimes a little push is all it takes!
I bought this on my new iPad – even though I have and Eiffel Tower of book waiting to be read. I just checked to make sure it had arrived and before I knew it, I had read the whole of the first story. Great, clear, vivid, moving writing. Thanks. I will keep the rest of it for when my conscience is a little clearer of the other books waiting, but I am really looking forward to it.
Your memoir is beautiful, Carol. There were so many places I had this feeling of pure delight at your somewhat unique and always graceful writing style.
I have just read 4 of your books and getting ready to start Mourning Has Broken. Your writing about women finding themselves was so inspiring and thought provoking. You as a writer,’m have wonderful insight into women and their thoughts, insecurities and questioning who they are. As a recent widow, and early 70’s, I myself, am trying to find myself and where I am going with my life. Starting over reminds me of my 20’s! Thank you for your boooks and writings!
Mimi…Thank you for telling me this. I am overjoyed that my books reach you in ways you describe. This is a gift to me from you.
Although Mourning Has Broken is a different type of book than the Getting To Mr. Right Series, I hope that you will enjoy it. Thank you again, so very much, Mimi. Much gratitude! ❤
Carol, thanks for stopping by my blog again as I pour my heart onto the page. I just purchased your memoir on grieving. I know it will help me. I am editing again and formatting for other authors. I hope to be writing again soon. It was four months last Monday that I became a grieving widow. It seems like yesterday. I guess it always will. –Deborah
