I'm going to miss seeing this magnet on the fridge when I leave Waterloo next week:
If somone believes in you,
and you believe in your dreams,
it can happen.
—Tiffany Loren Rowe
Yeah, I’m a mushball. But it is one of my favorite things to hear someone’s dream and see them laying the cement to get there. Even if you’re not all the way there, but you can look behind you and see the sidewalk growing, it’s encouraging.
Anyway, get inspired from wherever you can. And lay cement.
I hear ya there. That is a good quote. I do believe that you can do anything you want to , if you want it bad enough. Im glad I found this page. thanks in advance 🙂
That’s what’s great about the the internet, one can look for insurance and find direction in life. Jen, I have been tracking you since your mention of a certain Montana travelwriter. Keep up the good work.
dang, our magnets either are freebies we got reminding us to vaccinate our children, big cat hair attracting alphabet letters, or my favorite, from a Tony Millionaire cartoon ( https://www.maakies.com ) of a buxom, Little Orphan Eyed Woman rebuffing an amorous tophatted ape thusly: Foolish Monkey! Lips that touch liquor shall never touch mine!
Thanks, folks. 🙂 It’s always nice to bring in someone new, and to get the voyeurs to let me know they’re out there. I appreciate the comments.
And Ayun, the link didn’t work for me, but you never know, it could work for others. I look forward to metting you someday. Hey, are you going to Book Expo America this year? I probably will if I’m in the States.
If not, consider it. It’s a blast!
Well said. Thanks, Jen, and thanks, Tiffany Loren Rowe.
sure if anyone offers to pay to send me to – is it chicago this year again? oh, you bet I’d go in a hot second.
try this for tony millionaire.
very worth it (or so I hope, since i shelled out for some of his original art this year.)
BEA – I’m not sure who would shell out for you to go to BEA but you could talk to your publisher. Mostly, this convention spotlights books that are coming out the upcoming Fall. It is in Chicago in June.
But I highly rec it to authors who are trying to figure out the publishing world, those already in it that want to make new contacts, and really anybody who wants to learn about the different facets of publishing. There are lots more people there than publishers, and classes, authors, and speakers of all kinds. And it’s fun! I’ve blogged about it the past few years so you can find more there or I’ll do a post later.
And thanks for the link, I got your first one to work.
