		<description>Erika, thank you!! I feel lucky that he and I share this now. It&#039;s very possible that he&#039;ll change his mind about writing professionally (esp. when he realizes what a crazy occupation it really is!), but it&#039;s been so exciting to see him gain confidence in his creativity and have fun playing with story ideas.

Hope you have a great holiday, too!!</description>

		<description>Hi, Everyone! Thanks so much for stopping by! I was running around for the past 4 hours and just got back... All these pre-holiday things to do (OMG!!!).

First of all, YAYYYYY, Kris!!!!!!!!!!! I don&#039;t know how I managed to totally miss this fabulous news (was it just announced? or am I living under a rock? maybe, holiday-created obliviousness??), but I&#039;m thrilled for you--Congrats on the sale!! And I want to hear all details!!!!!! Which book(s) are coming out? When??   Also, thanks so much to you and the Mama Writers for hosting me here today--I was really excited to visit.  :)

Pamela~thanks, hon! The little guy stole my heart 11 years ago and has been inspiring me ever since... Thank you for always being so supportive. *hug*

Eliza~thank you for having me here!! This blog is awesome, and I love the articles!! I especially enjoyed reading your &quot;Adventures of a Romance Writing Mother&quot;!!

Edie~I&#039;m definitely lucky to have him as a son...thank you. How cool that you can paint! Hey, if friends are putting it up on their walls, your work must be really lovely.  :)

And, Kris, YES!! Today is Jane&#039;s 234th birthday--you are absolutely right! Gives us all another reason (besides your book sale!!! woot!) to celebrate with champagne, eh?!</description>

		<description>Marilyn, I love this blog.  Your son is lucky to have you as a mom.  And it sounds like you&#039;re lucky to have him as a son.

When my son was young, I started painting.  I wasn&#039;t that good at it, and I&#039;m surprised and kind of honored when I go to friends&#039; houses and see my stuff on their walls.</description>

		<description>Hey Pamela~
  Thanks so much for stopping by MamaWriters!

  And mega thank-you greatly for the congrats on my sale to Pocket!   Let&#039;s see...I guess there&#039;s really nothing better Santa could bring me . . . well, wait . . . maybe a desire to clean.  Yes.  That&#039;s it. I would like an internally-generated desire to--and love of-cleaning.
