This week I have received some lovely and kind feedback about the two books I have written those being The Dance Of The Emerald Dress and God Bless Our Dogs. It fulfilled me in a way that I really haven’t felt before.
How it all came about was about a fortnight ago my brother Peter invited me to his house to meet some relatives who Peter wished to share what he has found out about our family through Peter investigating π our family π³ tree. Peter’s wife Kathy was present, as was our Mum, our cousin Debbie and Mum’s cousin Rosemary. I had brought copies of both books π I have written to give to Debbie and Rosemary. I gave them the books without an expectation of response. I thought nothing of it until yesterday I received an email from Peter forwarding a letter to me, through Peter, because Rosemary hadn’t my contact details. The letter was so eloquently written and gave me a lot of praise about both books. Rosemary spoke of her life, growing up going to dances πΊand wearing a beautiful ballgown. She understood my characters love of dancing π and coming of age story. She spoke of her own love of dogs π and loved that God Bless Our Dogs is a little very spiritual book. I don’t think I have ever felt as heard and as understood about my writing even though I know my friends and loved one’s do really love my writing βοΈ. I guess because Rosemary’s praise was such a surprise that I feel it alot on the inside. Today I find myself standing a little taller and smiling π alot . My writing βοΈ means so much to me, it was what I love β€οΈ most in this world π other than Lily.
