I haven't been painting for such a long time, don't know much aa a newbie, and have been busy with other things lately--so I don't have much to say and more to learn by listening. :) I hope to get back to it for a while this winter. Thanks again!! Most appreciated! :):)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-69039759753713692432009-12-30T21:12:19.875-06:002009-12-30T21:12:19.875-06:00Rita - I am so happy for your awesome accomplishme...Rita - I am so happy for your awesome accomplishment as a writer!

I did well with that type of writing, but it is much more intellectual/cerebral and I didn't enjoy it in the same way--at all--hehe! Not that is wasn't exciting to get a good grade, of course--but it was less personal. Much "safer" writing--hehe! You know what I mean. I know you do. You open your heart on your blog sometimes--and that has to feel very different for you than when you do one of your excellent historicals or when you had photos published, right? Kudos, fellow author! And photographer! ;)Ritahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02043285884495492598noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-44459368982437901302009-12-29T21:35:04.315-06:002009-12-29T21:35:04.315-06:00Wow...such great news.

I've been published 2 or 3 dozens of times in work-related professional magazines, a number of software user manuals, and several ever-so-dry trade journals but with the exception of one poem, never for any "from the heart" writing. The poem was written a long time ago and was quite horrible. :) I don't even know if I have it around anymore.<br /><br />I'm content to write to the blog. But I know the thrill you speak of - I've gotten a couple photographs published and I was tickled pink and as pleased as punch!Intense Guyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08441598926026727682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-81984403193055615852009-12-29T17:08:13.678-06:002009-12-29T17:08:13.678-06:00Leah--I know you are both happy for me and that me...Leah--I know you are both happy for me and that means so much.

I've wondered, so this is the perfect time to ask you--have you ever been published?<br /><br />Thanks for posting the link, too.
