I've been tearing up reading all your stories, too. <BR/><BR/>One of the reasons I love writers so much is that they really "get" the pet thing!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08271454163876281736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-79545794244299586602007-12-05T21:43:00.000-06:002007-12-05T21:43:00.000-06:00Condolences on your loss, Karen.

She was that quiet presence always there while I was writing my current and only novel! I am with my fellow Passion's Slave, Gillian. I cannot write without my chihuahua and my dachshund/basset cross sitting on my feet. The little female cat crawls up on a shelf in the computer hutch and watches. I think it is so cool that you knew as soon as you finished the manuscript. Now, if you will just send me a strand of your hair I will fix that little voodoo doll and "borrow" a bit of you mojo!!dogladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03392561174583932552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-21791916262229062482007-12-05T19:55:00.000-06:002007-12-05T19:55:00.000-06:00Again, I think this shows how everything you do to...Again, I think this shows how everything you do to support your writing becomes part of the path toward publication. In your case, Karen, it showed the editor that you were the kind of writer that she would be able to count on. <BR/><BR/>Sad about your kitty. sniff, sniff.Diane Gastonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14770373530197339170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-50625549787053004702007-12-05T17:59:00.000-06:002007-12-05T17:59:00.000-06:00Oh, Karen, that just made me cry.

This was before I was tied into the all the Yahoo groups and I was an RWA newbie, so I had no idea how/when notification went out. But one Saturday in March, the phone rang. I looked up and thought: They’re calling about the Golden Heart. <BR/><BR/>My husband answered the phone and said to me: “Some woman from Romance Writers something or other…”<BR/><BR/>Sometimes, you just know.Charity Tahmasebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208740898666710699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18101458.post-39014210682232294282007-12-05T12:29:00.000-06:002007-12-05T12:29:00.000-06:00Oh man, (sniff) now I'm tearing up.

How does anyone write without a cat or dog sitting on their lap or feet or occasionally (all the time!) on their keyboard?<BR/><BR/>My best trick so far is to keep my desk lamp on all the time; they think it's their own special heat lamp and lay under it, instead on across the keyboard.<BR/><BR/>Great story, Karen!Gillian Laynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15772849187702478349noreply@blogger.com
