But remember that all of your hard work, abilities and experience are what brought you this far on your journey. Your book didn't miraculously get such a quick offer simply because you have a driven agent, it happened because YOU created a compelling book and lived a compelling story.<br /><br />Now, sit back, buckle up and enjoy the ride! You've earned it! <br /><br />Nanci<br /><br />P.S. Could I get your autograph before you become so ridiculously famous that I have to have my people talk to your people?Nanci Schimanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13020827589160704835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324262357834915884.post-1800195641451828062010-07-04T06:10:10.125-07:002010-07-04T06:10:10.125-07:00That's wonderful! Stay ecstatic.
Even thoug...That's wonderful! Stay ecstatic.<br /> <br />Even though my novel: Where Are the Cocoa Puffs? : A Family's Journey Through Bipolar Disorder, (due out August 30,2010), is, of course, fiction, at its core it’s my personal family journey. So I have had, and continue to have, doubts. "What was I thinking?" and passed through my lips more than once. Already I’ve had someone go up to my older daughter and say, “So, I’m going to be able to read all your secrets!” I cringed, but my daughter just laughed, thank God. But it's incredibly important that we tell our stories to anyone who’ll listen. The more we tell, the more stigma and discrimination will lessen. And, then, maybe, increase in research dollars, better understanding, compassion, empathy and smoother roads to recovery will follow. <br /><br />Congratulations! I look forwards to reading it!karen winters schwartzhttp://www.karenwintersschwartz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-324262357834915884.post-83172791027157591632010-07-03T15:19:04.292-07:002010-07-03T15:19:04.292-07:00Please stop worrying!!!
