Time and time again you've amazed me with your writing and I've been endlessly impressed with your global popularity (you told me yourself you have fans around the world, don't forget that!!).

THAT IS SUCCESS! <br />Remember that we all climb that ladder of success in different ways, at different paces. I recently sold my 6th book to my (small press ) publisher. But after many years of short stories, articles etc. that is success to me. I do aspire to one day sell to several publishers, including bigger houses, like you have; but in the meantime I kbnow I;ve achieved more than many. And so have you! Look how far you've come--and look at how many lives you've touched with your FABULOUS books!Roni Denholtzhttp://www.ronidenholtz.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650695048667568375.post-21219588393206026682010-01-01T19:33:51.782-05:002010-01-01T19:33:51.782-05:00Beth,

I thought you were cool and talented and hoped that I could be just like you.<br /><br />As an adult, I look at you and what you have achieved and I am proud of you. I know that you went into writing with nothing but your raw talent...you hadn't studied writing in school or had any formal training at all. And you turned that raw talent into some really awesome pieces of work. <br />You've written and published 14 books? The word "failure" doesn't even come to mind. You've achieved what others only dream of achieving!<br />Congrats on your new attitude and Happy Happy New year!<br /><br />SIS BrenSisters-in-Synchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05604043398648797517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650695048667568375.post-54984465035467440292010-01-01T19:04:58.339-05:002010-01-01T19:04:58.339-05:00"...You are a success each and every day that..."...You are a success each and every day that you get to do something you love or spend time with people you love!"<br /><br />Words of wisdom.

When I first started writing (almost a year...Beth,<br /><br />When I first started writing (almost a year ago exactly) I had certain goals. Some of those goals still remain while others are adapting to suit the new age we're in. Times are changing and with it, the industry itself. Instead of being upset about it, I've decided to learn the most I can about it and change my measure of success. Right now, each day I can squeak out at least 5 minutes of writing time is big time success for me. BIG TIME. <br /><br />A NYT best seller will probably mean something completely different than it does now in 2 years time. maybe it won't even exist. Ugh on one hand and it's out of my control on the other.<br /><br />You are a success each and every day that you get to do something you love or spend time with people you love!<br /><br />SIS Barb aka Elle J RossiElle J Rossihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242732693777191481noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4650695048667568375.post-25968016882404963262010-01-01T15:54:55.596-05:002010-01-01T15:54:55.596-05:00BJ...

I always get a huge smile on my face when I see one of your books sitting next to all the others on the shelf.<br /><br />This year I am going to try to have one of my poems published in at least one of the mags that I read.

You are multi-talented, creative, charming and beautiful. I am SO LUCKY to call you a dear frieind (and all-time favorite singing partner).<br /> I completely understand the "why am I not THERE???"
