  2. I've known Kathy for many years and loved hearing her work and stories of Chautauqua and Honesdale. In fact, she's the reason I've done both.

    In addition, Kathy's description of John's work in progress has left me chomping at the bit to read it.

    I was pleased to see I could follow both in one spot.

    I'm now a follower at http://riterdave.blogspot.com and have posted a link under my great sites to visit.

  9. Alright, I blabbed about your fun new blog on facebook...

    And Jon....thanks for the sweet comments on my blog. I really miss you! It's amazing to me how you can spend a short time with some people and instantly love them so much. :)

    I'm glad you're still busy writing. And I can't wait to hear about your success (I know it's coming!). As for me? I'm trying to finish the fantasy MG and hope to start sending it around at the first of the year. Patty Gauch recommended an agent at Chautauqua. The agent wanted to see the whole thing after reading the first chapter....so let's keep our fingers crossed that she'll still be interested! I'm so glad I found this blog.

  11. Hi! I've just popped over after reading Kim's inspiring guest post on A Place for Writers.

    I've added a couple of links to my latest post:

    I don't know whether I count in this competition though, as I currently live in China.

    Anyway, I really enjoyed reading your posts and look forward to more!
