Beverley, Reading your post reminded me of what Deanne Fitzpatrick, a rug maker from Amherst, Nova Scotia, says about ‘makers’. ‘There is never too much beauty’. The beauty of your stories honours your parents and showcases your talents. It is just too bad that the publishing world has taken such a hit over the past few decades forcing you (and others) to cultivate and nurture your patience as you await a positive response. On another note, my new favourite author, after Louise Penny, is Alyson Richman who has written ‘The Lost Wife’, ‘The Garden of Letters’, ‘The Rhythm of Memories’, to name a few of her novels. God bless writers and the gifts they offer the rest of us.
Good to hear from you Jane and thank you for your insightful comments. I am pleased to say that I have had a couple of positive responses from the over 200 queries sent to book agents. And, it's early days yet. My fingers, toes, eyes, etc are crossed!! I will look for Alyson Richman in the bookstore when I visit mom next week. Thanks for the recommendation. B.
Another interesting read! Thanks for sharing your thoughts about writing and about the need for peanut butter cookies during times of stress. I think I should go bake them now, and maybe work on my next story for the South County News!
