The last few months have been incredibly busy and I have failed to complete several memes that I’ve been tagged in. I thought this would be an appropriate time to say THANKS to those people who mentioned me, and to all of you who bother to take the time out of your day to stop by and read what I have to say.
First I would like to give a shout out to Maryellen Brady, who tagged me in a meme a while back, and has been a loyal reader of a few of the Friday Fiction series. Maryellen is a fantasy writer who posts regularly on her blog Maryellen Braydy- Awaken the Magic. She’s also on twitter @me_brady .
Next I’d like to say thanks for the mention and tag in your reader appreciation post to Rachel Horwitz who blogs at You Are What You Write. Rachel wrote a short science fiction story on my blog a while back and is active on twitter @rachelhwrites.
Fran Terminiello tagged me recently in The Next Big Thing meme, which I had already done, but wanted to add a link to her post about her work in progress. Check out her post on Scribbling in My Car, and add her to your bookmarks, follow her on twitter @FranTerminiello. She had her first short story published recently and is handy with a sword (yes, a real sword).
I also want to give a big hug to several faithful readers, whose support I deeply appreciate and will always remember.
Scott Hutchinson- musician, songwriter, and poet who is working on his first book of Haikus
D.D. Falvo- a talented fantasy writer and loyal friend who is one of the kindest people I’ve met in the virtual world.
Sarah L. Fox- amazing writer and recent beta reader who has helped me polish (once again) my manuscript. I can’t thank you enough!
Donna- for always taking the time to read and comment
Simone Caroti- (recent addition, thanks for your support!) author, professor, and director of the Public and Educational Outreach of the Astrosociology Institute (ARI) . I had the good fortune to meet and speak with Simone at Balticon last spring and I am slowly working my way through his published work- The Generation Starship in Science Fiction: A Critical History, 1934-2001
Margaret Alexander- Author of Shadows of Penumbra, coming soon. Blogger at The Story Addict, and loyal friend. Thanks for your continued well wishes.
Thanks also to Lisa, Jesica, Vaughn Roycroft, Sonja (artist at Shaded Faces), David L. Dostaler, and Karen Appleyard.
I appreciate all of you!
Thank you, Nicole! And thanks also for helping me out with my ms! :-)
My pleasure Sarah!
Always a pleasure to read your work Nicole. Thank you for putting words into such neat resonating strings !
:D I hope your projects are moving along, and Happy Thanksgiving!
I know how busy you’ve been, so I always appreciate the time you take to read and comment on my blog as well. I’ve had a busy autumn, too. Hopefully there will be some hunkering and more time to spend catching up with friends over the winter. Thanks for including me here among such fine folks. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours!
I wish I had had the time to say more about each person, but alas, I posted this at 11:00 at night (snore). So, thanks so much for all of your support! It is very exciting that we had the opportunity to meet and I hope the Holiday breaks allow a bit of time for catching up (wishful thinking?). I hope the edits and a new round of querying are going well. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Maureen!
Aw, you snuck this one in on me. I came to visit yesterday . . . just checking in on you and thought maybe you were taking a break this week–and then voila! Woke up today to an unexpected and gracious post that made my day a little brighter. Right back at you, Nicole! You have such a beautiful heart and a wonderful talent for writing any genre you please. It is an honor to be your friend and I look forward to the day we meet at some big book convention–signing our own books! <3
Likewise D.D., and I genuinely hope that wish comes to pass. It’s very surreal and exciting to think about the possibility of our work being out there someday. I guess that’s what keeps us going! Well, that, and great friends! Thank you!!
Aw, thanks Nicole! Life can get in the way of this whole interweby thing xP but glad to hear you’re doing well!
Absolutely! I hope the new writing project is going great for you Rachel!
