Don't you see. LOL<br /><br />Your enthusiasm is loved by many and your passion for publicizing the who's who and what's not in the LIT and Entertainment arena is invaluable.

Congratulations on your blog getting to ...Hi, Dee. Congratulations on your blog getting to be a "big girl." I love how you've mentioned kindergarten these past few days. <br /><br />I've appreciated it the most when you posted info about all the inspirational novels out there. Since I'm not in the Christian fiction business/ministry yet, your blog is one of my main resources for finding good things to read, outside of my public library.<br /><br />Recently, I was writing offline in my journal about our recent interaction (you'd left a comment on my site) and as I was writing I remembered how I found your blog back in 2007. I'd read Burney's <i> Murder, Mayhem, and a Fine Man, </i>, which led me to finding her blog. Reading her blog led me to finding Marilynn Griffith's blog, and then from Griffith's blog, I found your site.<br /><br />Also, it was through your site, that I ended up finding out when a couple of Tyler Perry works were coming out. I think I actually emailed my husband a link to a video of when you posted the "Meet the Browns" trailer. <br /><br />I know I'm the last person who could suggest which direction you should go in, but I <i> do </i> hope and pray you can have the peace you need. You have to do what's best for you, your daughter, and your health.<br /><br />So, I guess to answer your question, yes, I find what you do here beneficial. But, if you were to not do it anymore, I would not forget that you exist, you know what I mean? <br /><br />It's because of your posts--on those days that you do the Master's Artist posts--that I even found out there even was such a site called the Master's Artist. That's how blogs are...click here, and here, and here, and eventually--at least for me--you lose valuable devo, family, and writing time just "clicking here."<br /><br />I find that there's just so much information out there, and though I'm mostly just reading, my brain can get crowded with a buzzing noise from reading all that there is out there. Yet, there's a lot of good things to hear... (Sigh.)<br /><br />I imagine that your offline loved ones are missing you, too. No matter how much money may come from online efforts, I believe the offline connections are the ones who need us the most. <br /><br />Yet, I don't discount the online connections. So many times I've read Burney's and Griffith's posts with tears streaming down my face--which is not cool, since I didn't discover blogs until <i> after </i> my personal computer died in '07. It means I am crying in public. I guess I mention this to say that in your case, you've probably got far more meaningful connections online than I have. Thank God for both online and offline connections, but you may feel better if you pick up the phone and call one of those connections, letting them know you just need them for that moment, and not for what you can do for them, or they for you.<br /><br />I am so thankful for you, Dee, and for all the other folks I've encountered here on Blogger, but if any of you had to pause to tend to greater priorities, I would probably say [quietly, since I'm in a library, :-)], "More power to you."<br /><br />God bless you. <br /><br />--With prayer, Nedra in VirginiaNedra J.

You've introduced me to new authors and books, as well as great happenings in the publishing/entertainment industry that I am certain I would not know of otherwise. You equip writers of all levels with great tools for success if applied, and you feed the mind with discussions on current issues. <br /><br />But having said all that, what's most important is your peace. You do whatcha gotta do for your own peace of mind, body and spirit. I promise we'll be okay no matter what you ultimately decide. <br /><br />Love ya!La Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09649169422462139557noreply@blogger.com
