You won't want to miss it!<br /><br />Oh, and to S.C. - Margaret Lawrence, a Canadian author, said in an article on her that she doesn't like the attitude that if you write one genre people often think you can't write poetry or children's books. She feels it's not true, and that you should write from what's inside. (This is not a direct quote because it's been a year or so since I read the article.) I believe you should just write what is in your heart!<br />Thanks for stopping by everyone and thanks again Jennifer for interviewing me :DKellie Kamrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128538194212450324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131795650883324230.post-13764812251442104342010-10-29T15:47:53.489-07:002010-10-29T15:47:53.489-07:00Hey everyone!

YOur intro was awesome - I had to look around and make sure you were talking about me. I had tears in my eyes from all the nice things some of you said! LOL<br /> Today has been one of those crazy days, so I'll try to answer everybody before I'm off again for a few hours!<br />Kasey - I'm glad we ended up roommates, too. I loved hanging out with you, and I hope that in 30 years from now we'll still room together at conference!<br /><br />Elke - it was wonderful to meet you at conf. and I've also loved keeping in touch with all of you Angels. For so long, I felt like I was alone in this writing thing, and now I feel like a part of a big family!<br /><br />Shirley - I said I've written 4-5 five books, but nothing is published yet. Until I joined RWA, I kept hitting a wall in the publishing world. Now, I feel a little closer. :)Plus, I'm much better now... My critique partners, so far, have not been in the same genre. I think writing is about telling a good story, regardless of genre. Basically, when I critique, I just try to pick out things that I don't think fit, and vice versa. I read all genres of romance, so I know what I like about a story and that's how we try to help each other out. <br /><br />S.C.- thanks for checking out today's blog :) I think writing comes from the heart whether or not it's romance, poetry, etc. Poetry is just something that's therapeutic for me. My poetry is very simple, and I think that's why people like it.<br /><br />Janet Kay - I have used Vista Print for my business cards. They do nice work. I haven't tried much else with them yet. I've recently spoken with a gentleman who has expressed interest in helping me go audio and digital with my poetry book. It would be considered self-published, too, but I can get it on Amazon, so that's a bonus! It's just an exciting prospect - one I hadn't considered before. I do have a handful of paperbacks left...<br /><br />Thanks everyone for commenting! I'll check in later.

It was nice learning more about you today. <br /><br />I admire your positive outlook and your motto: keep dreaming, keep believing. <br /><br />I know that editors will love your work and I look forward to your first book signing at an RWA conference. :-)Elke Feuerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00490167599651012905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131795650883324230.post-63800894974186480692010-10-29T10:24:03.046-07:002010-10-29T10:24:03.046-07:00Kellie,
Thanks for the information.
I was interest...Kellie,<br />Thanks for the information.<br />I was interested (in all)especially, the recording of your poetry book. I drive alot and use recorded books while doing that. How do you get it done? Are you self publishing that too?<br />I used Vista Print. Com to make up an oversized postcard of a recent poem. I thought they turned out beautifully. They give you 4 free items you pay shipping only. If you order large quanities you do pay more. That order I got 50 oversized cards, a t-shirt,a wraparound mug, and a 12 month desk calendar for $7.43 shipping. This is a great way to promote your books,etc. You can use their designs or upload your own design(small up-load charge$1.99 or so) and logos. I do not want to offend anyone but I use them often and maybe should have passed the info. in an e-mail to you. We have been hearing about author self promotion a lot in the writing groups I attend Ozarks Romance Authors, Sleuth's Ink, Springfield Writer's Guild.Janet Kay Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09721858844413141516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131795650883324230.post-54299243292150898622010-10-29T08:11:20.885-07:002010-10-29T08:11:20.885-07:00I'm so glad you shared about writing in separa...I'm so glad you shared about writing in separate genres! Over the last several years, I've heard negativity about not picking a genre. I think that's changing with the internet. So many people read a wide variety. I'm looking for a great writer when I go to the book shelf, not a book in a particular genre. Thanks for introducing yourself to us!S.A.

I'm curious. Do your partners write in the same genre as you do?Shirleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04337958837908666504noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2131795650883324230.post-61422137977478717292010-10-28T22:57:34.193-07:002010-10-28T22:57:34.193-07:00Hey Kellie, I am still really glad we decided to r...Hey Kellie, I am still really glad we decided to room together ar RWA, your are such an amazing person.
