My comment didn't come through. Must not...Oopa. My comment didn't come through. Must not have passed security!<br />Thanks, Donna and Jenny. I appreciate your thoughts. I'm having fun getting comments from people I don't know or barely know, but family is another story! I have grown sons reading what Mommy wrote. Sigh. My mom was able to read three of my mss, a draft of Widow's Row included, and she didn't like that all my protagonists' mothers were either dead or dying. <br /><br />Again, thanks for posting!

Yes, I can imagine your feeling of exposure and vulnerability now. But soon you will find out you've been read--have touched and entertained and changed people. What a gift--for you and your readers-to-be.

My bad for the timing.<br /><br />That inside of the head thing . . . yeah. That can be a conversation stopper. Depending, of course, on what's inside your head to begin with.<br /><br />Congratulations on your Sam's Club placement, by the way.Peg Brantleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04906858123466177508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3878752953637981313.post-61430351615367423082010-12-08T15:53:23.173-07:002010-12-08T15:53:23.173-07:00Hi, Peg's sister. Congratulations on your fir...Hi, Peg's sister. Congratulations on your first published novel! And what a fun post. Oh, yes, I so well remember the "exposed" feeling of having my first novel published. I had done a non-fiction first--a family cookbook which told stories and named names. My mother felt exposed, but I didn't--nothing bad in the stories, I figured we're a pretty normal family--whatever that means. But when my first NOVEL was published I wanted to hide under the bed because that was what I was like inside my head. That's exposed.Donna Fletcher Crowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03986333915483142722noreply@blogger.com
