Hello, Freelance Friends! For those of you who don't recognize the name, here's a brief introduction;
I was part of the original JHS forum. The board came about when a cyber-writer-friend and I were lamenting on the frustration with putting all the work into an article or query and then being unable to hit the send button. I belonged to the JHS thread month upon month for a few years. I made some really great friends; some I've kept in touch with and others I lost somewhere out there in cyberspace. Why did I leave? I wanted to write books. So, I did. And after an arduous process, I have good news to announce - my book, BREAKING THE CODE - A DAUGHTER'S JOURNEY INTO HER FATHER'S SECRET WAR will be published by traditional means in the fall of 2011!
Today on my blog, I posted about hitting the send button that would send my manuscript into the hands of the publisher. And that brought me back to the original JHS premise. I couldn't help but tell all about my fabulous JHS experience here on Absolute Write.
Anyway-nothing is for nothing. I believe my experiences here with freelancing were a spring board to my eventually being published. And I want to thank all of you. The kind words you give and the encouragement you offer make a huge difference in the lives of your fellow writers. Keep up the great work!
Sincerel,

PS Didn't see a January JHS thread. So, I had to post a new thread. ~K

I heard later that they were going to AW's Facebook page. I'm NOT on facebook and refuse to get on it because of the nature of my dayjob (foster care) I simply don't want to be found that way. lol
