I feel completely the same way, my published writing has taken the form of newspaper and magazine articles, which somehow is maybe less scary than sending a book out into the big world. But it's still such an emotional process and I always feel so fragile about letting them go!Amy of Progressive Pioneerhttp://www.progressivepioneer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27337301.post-36199518930713204062009-09-06T00:09:32.856-04:002009-09-06T00:09:32.856-04:00to publish.....hmmmmQuirkyDollshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08369002701413795400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27337301.post-89611208057236569522009-09-05T02:32:52.556-04:002009-09-05T02:32:52.556-04:00Oh gosh can I ever relate!!

I own both of your babies/books and find them to be beautiful and useful. I enjoyed hearing this sensitive perspective on the the emotions of publishing.

All three of these books are awesome and will be put to use soon. For now I am just taking my time gazing at their pages and imagining their potential in my home. Thank you for putting it out there and giving me the chance to enjoy it in my life. -GailGRXRhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04333955135668621827noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27337301.post-69883918801266476712009-09-04T11:11:29.611-04:002009-09-04T11:11:29.611-04:00I love your passion for what you do.
