Thank you so much for subscribing! And thank you too for the reminder about the workshop I want to do in June. Right now book tour is looming in a happy sort of way and I’m a little frantic with things to do. But I so want to do that workshop, so I’m putting a big fat note to myself in my office to get to it. Did you send an email to escapeintoopen@gmail.com? If not please do so and remind me of your email here today. Happy day!

Your writing has inspired me, ever since your “Katie” series, and has given me the courage to do a little writing myself. No novels yet, just inspiring stories. Maybe one day …. before I’m too old to type!! Keep up your great work! I especially related to your memoir about your parents, and it helped me deal with my own mom at the end of her life. Don’t stop writing!!!

Gosh, I love typewriters.

Not that your post is really about typewriters, but it's a great photo :)

ok - I'm convinced (When you were MIA on FB I kept going to your blog hoping to find info there -nothing there - we do have this in common - maybe it's a writer thing?) - a bit tmi - money tight BUT, the joy I always receive from your posts and your books, how do I put a price on that? So...subscribed!

I'm saving my shekels hoping for in person writing workshop in June. I so want to be chosen and date provided so I can make flying and accommodation arrangements. I know I'm like a dog with a bone (see? I KNOW you would never use that comparison and would come up with something original!!) about this but, I finished first draft of my memoir and, am now in the edit and, especially, deleting garbage stage.

I'm reading "The Promise" and he also writes beautiful descriptions. That's the skill I hope to learn about. I want readers to not only picture what I write but be surprised by it. It's what I have always loved the most about your writing. I often catch my breath reading a passage - it's inspiring!
