Last week I attended one of my all-time favorite gathering
of writers, the LDStorymakers’ annual writer’s conference. I love this
conference because a lot of my friends—fellow writers / authors—generally attend.
It is run by the group of people who originally convinced me that I really can
do this writing thing, and that it doesn’t matter if I’m a stay-at-home mom of
four from a small town in Utah. They taught me early on that writing books isn’t
scary and intimidating, nor is it impossible.
This year, I find myself a bit short on descriptive words,
because when it comes to support from the writing community, I am truly rich.
So many people have offered to take my hand and help me up whenever I need it—which
seems to be more and more frequently lately. They are always there to give me
renewed energy and help me to believe that I can do impossible things.
It leaves me more than grateful, and truly humbled.
I love my friends. So instead of talking about everything I’ve
learned, I want to say thanks. To my blog readers, to my biggest supporters, to
my true and ever-loyal friends.
You know who you are—all of you.
Wherever my path leads, I am beyond blessed to know each one
of you.
So thanks. That’s all. Just thanks. It is because of you
that I will never, ever give up.

I second this post! It was great to meet you there and so awesome to be surrounded by so many wonderful writers!
Great post, Nichole. I think we all have these people that keep us going, and thank goodness for that. ;-)
Yeah, I wouldn't LET you give up. It's too late. You hooked me like a crack-fiend and if you ever let up...well, it won't be pretty. ;)
i don't think any of us can say this often enough to our supporters. what a great reminder we're surrounded by so many awesome people!
