It’s the second day of the new year, and so far, I can’t complain. Yesterday, we (meaning my husband and me) sold the house we’ve had on the market since May in a time of economic crisis, not to mention the dead of winter. And not to get ahead of myself, but as an aspiring author working my fingers to the bone to get an agent, I’d like to think of the fortunate beginning to 2009 as a good omen for things to come.
I am currently in the middle of writing a book proposal for my novel, and to say the least, the task is daunting and fraught with all kinds of peril–like market research. Blech! I have a basic rough draft right now, and I’ve survived thus far, which makes me rather proud. I only hurled the how-to book across the room twice, so all in all, I would say it’s not that bad. We’ll see what tune I’m whistling after I return to work on Monday and have less time to devote to my project.

Rebekah: Life is short, but it’s wide. Keep on keeping on. If you shoot for the moon, you’ll surely hit some stars. Maybe I’m selfish, but I’d like to personally know a famous author. Love ya, LM
What a great website! HHS is so proud of you and I’m afraid that you’ll outgrow us and leave. I know that you can do anything you put your mind to. I can’t wait until you let me read it. Love, Arwood
P.S. When you become a wealthy published writer, will you send copies of your books to our library?
Mrs. Harris don’t worry your the best teacher/friend that i have ever known and I know that what obstacle comes your way you will overcome it. Just remember,”Patience is a virtue”, have patience and if you write it they will come. (lol) your the best. Jon D.
Congrats on the sell! I’m so glad you got that taken care of. Selling a house is such a huge stress. And I can’t wait to hear more about your book.
Hey Rebekah,
I think it’s great you are attempting to live your dream. Good luck, it sounds like it might be a daunting task. Put the same perseverance and love you gave to Taekwondo into it, and you will be a rousing success. Love Ya’ Rhonda Yates
You’re a very intelligent individual; don’t outgrow HHS in your quest for victory. And, please, when your book is published, I want a signature.

Good luck.
Mrs. Harris, I’m really happy for you about your book.
You are an amazing teacher; I’ve really enjoyed being in your class this year. Good luck in all that you do! Love, Kd
Well, well my best friend has a web page, a written first book, and has sold her house. Bekah, I’m really proud of you! You always said you would write a book and here it is! I was glad to see you over Christams. Lets not let it get that long again. Send my love to Kevin.
Your Sunshine
