Without them a lot fewer people would be compulsive enough to finish writing books and it might be easier to sell that first book. But I am thankful for my new Kindle. It allows me to read more than I used to, which can never be a bad thing. I don’t know if i can be truly thankful for computers.

I'm thankful for all the wonderful, helpful fellow-writers I've "met" online, and at the moment, I am especially thankful for one particular author/editor who helped "unstick" me so I could do the massive edits my mss needed to hopefully move from slush to success. (Time will tell.) Yes, Mindy, I'm looking at you:) And I'm thankful for the friend who did reiki on my RSI-prone arms yesterday, so I could keep typing! Happy holidays, all.

Friends who will read rough drafts and point out flaws. A supportive family who doesn't mind if Mom's spends all day commenting on people's blogs...er, writing. And, last but not least, wonderful authors who were so kind as to read my book! ;-) Ditto on the computers!!

Beta readers who are in no small part responsible for making my manuscripts presentable enough to be let out the door. And agents and editors who have been willing to look at them once they do! Writer friends who have given me invaluable advice. Kit, I'm looking at YOU.
