    Hi Barbara,

    Thank you so much for your kind words. Do you write poetry? I've been published in print magazines for poetry but not yet for articles. However, there are ezines such as WOW magazine that are not in print, but pays you for your articles. Subscribe with Writers Gazette (http://www.writergazette.com/) and you'll get lots of print publications where you can submit to from their newsletter.

    Hi Barbara, Thank you for the friendship and your nice response to my blog entry. I am glad that I'm not the only writer who struggles with the time issue. I can imagine how busy grandchildren keep you, I remember how energetic my kids were when young. I thought it would get easier in the teen years - NOT! It seems I'm constantly shuttling my teen daughter everywhere. Oh well, I'll enjoy it while I can because they grow so fast.

    I believe in miracles...
    Like being born again.
    Or having my life saved by a stranger.
    Or being invited by a new and unique friend to network.
    Thanks, Barbara.

    Hi Barbara,

    Do you write poetry? Conceit Magazine would be a great publication for you to submit your work. I know they accept poetry, but I'm not sure about short stories. If you would like their info I could give it to you.

    I wanted to thank you for your kind words. It means a lot to me that you would take the time out to compliment me. Also, thanks for leaving a comment for Pat Simmons. You may want to email her yourself.

    Keep in touch.

    Thank you for the Thanksgiving wishes, and may your day be blessed with loved ones and lots of good things to eat.

    I have not forgotten my promise. I enjoyed the Red Door, and am trying to find time for the 2nd one. Once I get through that one, I will send you reviews on them both. So far I am enjoying your writing, and am sure the 2nd one will be every bit as good as the first.
