Forgot to mention, my cards and website both have my email address, so make it easy for readers to write if they're inclined. <br />Lisa: A month is nothing! Give it a little time, you'll get some nice notes, I promise. <br /><br />Elizabeth: Start filling your Happy Folder with those folks who can't wait for the next book ... knowing they'll be disappointed if you don't get crackin' is a great motivator.<br /> <br />Alan: That folder will be BULGING when "Diamonds'' debuts. (PS: If you're making up nice notes, send a few my way :-)<br /><br />Sue Ann: You're the QUEEN of involved readers and great ideas. You rock, hon!Deborah Sharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01575491644343480392noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-56162644156125368642009-10-09T10:35:21.857-04:002009-10-09T10:35:21.857-04:00Great reviews are ... well .... great! But, hones...Great reviews are ... well .... great! But, honestly, it's the e-mails from readers that keep me going, and although I don't have a Happy Folder (fabulous idea!), I do save many of them and review them when I'm in the dumps. <br /><br />It's also very dear to me when readers come up at events and tell me how much they love my books. And many have sent me small, touching gifts, like handmade jewelry, dolls, even a fruit basket! Recently someone made me a gorgeous scrap book on Odelia.<br /><br />I'm thrilled to say, I receive e-mail from readers nearly every day now. Keep them coming, folks. You have no idea what your kind words mean to us in the trenches. At least this is one author who doesn't take them for granted.Sue Ann Jaffarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09984054116933714621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-49820076996667542522009-10-09T09:30:44.392-04:002009-10-09T09:30:44.392-04:00A Happy Folder is a great idea (it sure beats Reje...A Happy Folder is a great idea (it sure beats Rejection Folder).<br /><br />Hope you get yours filled up!<br /><br />(I think I'll write myself a few encouraging emails to get mine started.
