First experiences, whether pleasant or painful,
tend to stay with me for a long, long time. I can fully recall every aspect of
my first kiss, the first time I met my husband, the first time I drove a car,
the birth of my first child, my first job interview and my first F on a college
term paper. The events still evoke strong emotion in me.
I have had many firsts in my writing career: first
article published, first public reading, first paid assignment, first rejection
letter, and, of course, first novel published. Last night a group of ladies
invited me to their book discussion group for another first: leading an
in-depth discussion of my novel, Very
Truly Yours. Wow. Talk about a rewarding experience!
Thanks ladies.
