I now have a note by my writing desk saying, "Belief creates reality" and "This is a marathon" and "You are a published writer". Brittany is the best example of these. So inspiring!

This was a wonderful blog. I love the fact that so many here are willing to help others improve writing skills. It gives me hope to see someone go from rejected to winning. I figure each quarter I will learn at least 1 new thing and maybe I will reach the same heights as Brittney and Wulf one day. I am starting late to the process, but maybe one day I will get there. I may be 101 by then, but I will have enjoyed the worlds and characters I created.
Small steps add up to miles.

Keep going and believe in yourself.

Hi Brittany. I read Half Breed and would like to know how to pronounce Seque.
By the time I reached the end I was saying CQ.
Also, how many words did it tally?
Julie sent me an email connection to the book, I read yours first.
