Besides, I'd probably go insane (er, insaner) if I didn't write. Hard or not, I just HAVE to write. Awwww, I'm honored! I'd be thrilled for you to be one of my first readers! Speaking of which, I'm dying to get my hands on your books. I must go purchase them! If only I wasn't always broke...<br /><br />Oh my, Jack! You are too sweet!!! Thank you! I may definitely come to you for help. I cannot even express how honored I am at your offer. Writers can use all the help and support they can get. Just...thank you! I won't forget your offer. So if I randomly try to contact you someday don't be surprised. ;) And it goes both ways. If you ever need me for anything I'm always here. I'm no expert on anything, but I'm always happy to help!Christine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-84192718638596096692014-01-11T13:43:02.086-06:002014-01-11T13:43:02.086-06:00Thank you!

It's giving no indications to coming back soon anyway. *shakes head*<br /><br />*clutches heart* Oh my goodness, Kiri! THANK YOU!!! Honored does not even cover what I'm feeling. You are too sweet!!!! Thank you SO much!<br /><br />You as well!!Christine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-37976369767105531222014-01-11T13:36:44.958-06:002014-01-11T13:36:44.958-06:00Happy New Year, Autschi! :D

Glad you enjoyed them. You should totally try editing! It's so amazingly rewarding. And once you do it that first time it gets a lot easier all the other times. It's just hard to jump into it. Trust me, I know. :-/<br /><br />You as well, sweet girl! Hope your 2014 is the best year yet!Christine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-86041412411123140162014-01-10T10:24:08.149-06:002014-01-10T10:24:08.149-06:00HUZZAH FOR PANSTERS!

I used to, but my characters just change it all so I gave up.<br /><br /> But good for you, taking your writing seriously! It is never easy, but it is always worth it when you put your best into it. And when you publish - which would be fantastic for me because I've been wanting to read something of yours since I found your blog - I will be one of your first buyers. <br /> It sounds like you have a lot of this down already, but if you ever need any help - with anything, including publishing, feel free to ask. I'd be willing to do everything I can to offer assistance.

I think I may have just found my sanity again, Lauri, and I'd kinda like to keep under control until next NaNo. Haven't seen the slightest trace of yours, though. I'm still looking if you need me to. *winks*<br /><br />However, I will stick around long enough to say that I nominated this post (and also your loving and beautiful self) for Amy Dashwood's I'd Like To Share for this month, or last month, rather, and you can see more of that all at this link: http://miss-dashwood.blogspot.com/2014/01/id-like-to-share-january-2014.html<br /><br />God bless and I hope 2014 is a WONDERFUL year for you!!! :DKirsten Fichterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01887462858049277918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-84450897816259809862014-01-02T16:48:03.909-06:002014-01-02T16:48:03.909-06:00Hello Lauri!

I just hope 2014 stays a little longer.<br />I need time to learn my lessons and to improve my writing.<br /><br />I really loved your lessons of 2013. I think I will try my hand at editing sometime this year if I have time.<br /><br />I hope you have a great 2014 and it will be a year in which we we all keep growing and changing and bettering ourselves....

But that's okay. We have to live too. Oh wow, all of you are graduated? How exciting! I will absolutely be praying for you and your family! I understand how hard this time of life is. I think God has had me on a waiting period but I'm thinking He's about to prepare me for...something, and it's kind of scary. The world is big and scary and overwhelming. But I know God has something wonderful for you. Just keep following Him, everything will fall into place.<br /><br />Hope you have a very, very great 2014!!!Christine Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15859881278385314279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4139091376044743904.post-45707512742714554762014-01-01T09:58:04.474-06:002014-01-01T09:58:04.474-06:00Haha!

Why must it go so fast?? <br /><br />I love your writing tips and the review of what you've learned over the year 2013. Such a helpful post! I love writing, but sadly didn't take the chance to do so much over this past year. Hopefully that will change in 2014. I dunno. . . This year is going to be so different for me and my family. All of my siblings and I are now fully graduated and ready to tackle the world! (Not really. . . heheh) But I find myself needing to sit down and re-evaluate what I am supposed to do. Please remember me in your prayers if you don't mind. =]<br /><br />Happy New Year!Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17598484310037287170noreply@blogger.com
