Comment on If vomit makes you squeamish, don’t read this post by Susan Bourgeois

This is a great post. I’m truly sorry that you have struggled in this for this long. I can only imagine. The only time I can remember having horrible “dry heaves” is when I was pregnant for each of my three children.

It is something you never forget.

At least you did find what was wrong with you by googling your problem. I love to google; it’s amazing what you come up with when you want to find information that’s uncommon.

Your post made me feel great in one way. It’s the fact that you stated it’s long winded. I tend to be long winded myself. Check out one of my latest posts on my blog and that’s me trying not to be long winded!

This is my test blog so it’s fine for now. My eldest daughter has repeatedly told me that I need to make my posts shorter because working people and busy people don’t always have the time to read long posts.

I need to keep that in mind in the future and create shorter posts. I want you to know that your post makes me feel like I am not alone.

Hope you’re feeling well right now!

Far more than anything my husband and I wanted a baby, we had been trying for a year with no success. My husband bought just about every book and program on the marketplace . We have been testing for ovulation everyday and saving up our baby producing time for just when that little stick turned pink. Our next step was infertility treatment, we had been avoiding it simply because our insurance would not cover it and for IVF and every thing that came with it , we had been seeking at close to $30,000.00. Until we finally found some thing that worked, This really is what worked for us and I am proud to tell other men and women about it The Pregnancy Miracle. I hope with all my heart this assists you and like me you too realized the joy of having a child.

I appreciate your objections. It is a bit sad that desperate people respond to gimmicks like that, and understandable that having been taken in they don’t want to be your BFF now.

Comment on Reaching out to bloggers: How to get book reviews by Suzanna E. Nelson

Thank you very much for the tips. I have been getting mixed messages from different advisors on the internet, especcially on self-published books like mine. After failing to get a traditional publisher three years ago, my agent advised me to self publish. It was the best thing that ever happened to me as I learn’t alot about the techniques of fiction writing by using the publisher’s editing and evaluation resources.

My books were published in March by iUniverse and they were both awarded Editors Choice. This week and next week they will be features on the Publisher’s weekly website, a costly endevour, but very necessary as most agents are not interested in finished books.

I will use your advice in trying to interest some agents and hopefully one of them will respond.

Thank you very much.

Suzanna.

You may recall that I listed your blog in an ebooklet I published in June 2009 about the best new shortfiction blogs?

I was planning to review the progress of my proteges after 1 year and have found my way here today. Such happenings!

Now on my way to your firepetal website.
