THE THRILL OF IT ALL BLOGFEST ENTRY



Thank you Tara and Heather for hosting this awesome blog hop.

When it comes down to the biggest thrill that I have ever experienced, it still has to be the day that I got an email from my literary agent. I felt something close to butterflies and I felt like everything was going right. But I have to admit that to this day, I get a similar thrill whenever I see that someone has taken the time to leave a comment on my blog or has decided to follow my blog. I have butterflies, I feel humbled and happy to be alive.

  5. I look forward to one day experiencing the same thrill of an agent's first e-mail, but for now I settle for that thrill that I too experience whenever someone new follows me or leaves a comment. Thanks for giving me one today!
