What if I spend all this time getting my story from my head to my computer, and no one wants to read it?" But your story has encouraged me. I WILL finally finish this manuscript!!

Thanks for sharing your inspiring story...Hi Amanda,<br />Thanks for sharing your inspiring story. I was one of several editors who read your contest submission last year after the initial winner, Kat Cantrell, was announced. We loved the story and were equally thrilled when Kathleen contracted the book for HAR. <br /><br />Our 2012 SYTYCW event launches next week with a five day online conference so we hope many aspiring authors will join us.

So when you tear up your manuscript you still have a million other jump drives including in your purse. I saw your book on Amazon and will e-mail you later. As always I have a story to tell you. Congrats on your book Amanda. My house is full of quotes like that too.
