We appreciate all your hard work. We all enjoy the benefits. I've read all my life. Im a average reader, with several books on the go, both books and e readers.

I can't tell you enough how grateful we have found each other, that I get to spend so much of my creative time and fantasy life walking down that path with you. It is truly a miracle, and it has surpassed my wildest dreams (and I have pretty wild dreams!) Your friendship and belief in me is totally supporting my muse, and my desire to just be the best I can be. When I have someone like you in my corner, there is no possibility I can fail. Life isn't perfect, but our friendship and love surely is. <br><br>Always, my pirate.

But you keep up the reading, and I'll keep up the writing.

I normally have a print book I'm reading, an ebook and an audiobook at the same time. Normally these are not the same book. I normally read about 250 but this year it's harder to keep track as I've been beta reading for authors a lot it seems. <br>Don't sell yourself short cause you are a slow reader. Your gift is writing and a lot of us don't have that gift. If you need to take longer to get a book out your loyal readers will still be here waiting for your wonderful stories. <br>❤️❤️❤️❤️<br><br>Have a great SundayKaren Hendersonnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-32402505926022875232015-03-22T01:44:50.000-07:002015-03-22T01:44:50.000-07:00Thanks, Karen.

I guess part of my issue is I'm always thinking about the next story while I'm editing the last one. I do think it's getting better, though, the more books I write. But it's still a challenge.Sharonhttp://authorsharonhamilton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-59279230200356986182015-03-22T01:55:58.000-07:002015-03-22T01:55:58.000-07:00The world would be boring if we all had the same g...The world would be boring if we all had the same gifts.

I am glad I discovered your books and your blogs. Even thru the blogs, I can see that you have a talent with words and what I say to all my fave authors, you don't have time to read because your readers want more of your words :D Being a beta reader and helping with edits I realized it is hard work to polish a story, but at the end it is so satisfying, isn't it? Keep writing, polishing and I will be a happy reader.Enikohttp://seelkfireice.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-52672556213039438562015-03-22T03:48:55.000-07:002015-03-22T03:48:55.000-07:00Well, allrightie!!Well, allrightie!!Sharonhttp://authorsharonhamilton.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7219064774757570879.post-55931884154452526132015-03-22T03:50:07.000-07:002015-03-22T03:50:07.000-07:00Awesome, Eni!

You have proven over and over again that you have everything it takes to create masterpieces that touch the very hearts of the masses. You have such a God given gift. I myself am very handicapped in the sense that I can only focus on one thing at a time. When I was 12 years old, I was the chess champion of my county. Thinking back, the reason for that was when I played a chess match, there was only two people in the room. There were no distractions and I could focus on that one thing. That's what I love so much about narrating your books. I go into my little recording studio, block out everything else that's going on in my life and focus on the world that you have created in your story. A world that takes me to a place where I want to be and away from everything that I don't want to focus on. I am happiest when I am in that place. The place that you have created from your heart and your heightened sense of awareness. I thank you for being the creative person that you are. I thank you for your honesty in this blog. I thank the universe for divinely putting us on a path together. You are a rare jewel and I am so privileged to know you and have you in my life. Bless you Sharon Hamilton and all the good that you do for so many people.J.D. Harthttp://www.jdhart.netnoreply@blogger.com
