My first time in the Post-Published Good News thread!
« on: September 13, 2012, 03:25 PM »
Dear Blueboarders,

My debut NERVE comes out today and I couldn't let the event go by without a huge thank you for the support I've received from you guys along the way. I did years in the trenches and another couple in the No News is Killing Me thread, which actually has been described as the Hotel California, in that you can check in but never leave. And who would want to leave this place? So much of my education on writing and publishing has come from this board. In fact, my agent found me on the Query thread. Even when I needed a break from writing, there was always support here. Discussing who will win So You Think You Can Dance or American Idol is important stuff, y'all!

And so is having a safe, supportive place to fall back on when you need it. Which is what we all have here.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!   :grouphug2

xo,
Jeanne

Happy Birthday to your book, and many happy returns of the day to you, Jeanne! I love it when things finally pay off for people who have worked so hard for so long; it makes all seem right with the universe.

 :yay :yay Jeanne. I can't WAIT to read NERVE. I might be the only person who hasn't read it yet. But my copy should arrive any day. In the meantime, I'm enjoying all the "daring" videos from you and your fellow authors today. For those who want to share in the dare, check out the hilarity here:

Thank you, all. It was a fantastic book birthday. Getting a mention in PW for the blog-on-blog dare challenge between the Emudebuts and the FridayTheThirteeners was rich frosting on the cake. Anyone who wants to see a bunch of children's authors behaving foolishly can check them out at:

The kidslit community is amazing. So humbled and blessed to be part of it.
