Re: A Real thrill!

yeah,
i remember the first time i saw my name in the by-line of the first article i
wrote for the school paper way back in secondary school. it really feels good
when you learn something you worked hard on is appreciated by other people
besides yourself. hope i could get a chance to read some of your books. good
luck and more power to you! =b

Quoting Irene Duffield <[email protected]>:

 I personally don't think it is silly raving.  I consider it pure happiness. 
 There is a man on another list just like you.  He has had this book that he
 felt that he was meant to write just as you feel.  Congratulations and I am
 happy for you that you finally wrote the book that you knew you were meant to
 write.  Rave all you want.  You deserve it.  I am glad, too, that you found
 the voice that you needed.  I do hope that you sell lots of books and once
 again, be happy.  Not many people get to feel as you do now.
 
 
 Take care,
 Irene

   Hi Everyone. 
         Well, today it came in the mail -- my first actual copy of St.
 Martin's edition of my novel "What's Wrong With Dorfman?" seven long years in
 the making. I'm not sure why, but I'm totally thrilled.  Even though I've had
 5 books published and 2 movies made, for some reason this feels a lot
 different. I think it's because it's the one book I've always wanted to write
 since I was a kid, but could never quite find the right voice or tone for. I
 can't even remember how many false starts I've been through with this one,
 until I finally got it right. Does that make any sense? 
         Anyway, don't mean to take up too much of your time with my silly
 ravings, just had to share the joy with people who understand. 
         Best, 
         JohnB.
