Where Does the Time Fly?
Every once in a while I look at something and realize, gosh, I haven’t done that in a while. A while being a month, a quarter, sometimes even a year.
I spend a lot of time these days reading and trying to help newer author’s hone their talents. Some of them are really taking off. There is a part of me that is jealous, but then, I’m alternately prouder of their accomplishments because I know, I KNOW, I played a small part in their success.
The great thing, though, is they play a part in mine. I can’t tell you how many times another author has lifted me when my spirits were at the bottom. How many times I’ve asked for someone to give me an impression of what they’ve just read and let me know where it needs work. All those times, my sisters and brothers in writing have helped me be better.
In a life that seems far too busy, I’m not too busy to say thank you, especially to the ladies of LAW.

I want to say that YOU get credit for a great deal of my success! You gave me great advice. You gave me a chance and I hope you never regret it.
I try to pay it forward all the time!

LOL, Maura! You pay forward all the time! When you are a NY Times best selling author I hope you remember Aspen Mountain Press!
