Hi Nancy, congratulations on Emerging turning one! It seems like just yesterday the book came out. I was lucky enough to read it and it is fabulous.
Some writers don't like promoting their work; they feel uncomfortable or shy, but promoting a piece of work is necessary. I find it interesting and accurate that your perspective is that you are providing a service. Indeed you are, and an important one at that!
I think both of your book ideas are great. Why not write both -- one at a time of course! I would like to read the pet loss one first, but it's your call. After all, you are the author.
In terms of naming my favorite authors, this is like naming one's favorite child for me. In a former life I was an English major and English professor. Here are just some: George Orwell, China Achebe, Shakespeare, Viktor Frankl, Elie Wiesel, John Steinbeck, Amy Tan, Anton Checkov, Kristin Hannah, and so many more. I'm definitely a book crazy type of gal.
Great post, Nancy, and I'm looking forward to seeing what project you are working on next.
Thanks so much for your supportive words. Since you're a painter and a writer, you know exactly where I'm coming from. It's nice to know you get it.
I appreciate your opinion on what direction to take my next project. You know me, it'll take me awhile to decide and then write the book. But I've come to realize it's okay to take my time, too.
Your list of favorite authors made me laugh. Guess it's hard for you to narrow it down!
Thank you for reading and commenting too. The connection you and I share means a lot to me.
Thank you for the kind mention!
Hi Dan,
You're welcome. Your words really spoke to me.
