You are amazing! And thank you so much for this because I am also struggling with my novel right now, and my short stories, and this helps so much. Your humility is so beautiful and so amazing given how talented you are. We don't have Lifetime here at Jentel--I so wish we did--but I will ask my mother-in-law if she has it and can tape it for me. I LOVED your description of being an extra--I'm so glad you got to do that! I loved your description of everything, how you felt, what it was like, and I almost cried about the part where all these people now have a job because of something you did--being true to yourself and your vision. You know, in Cheyenne, I'm told, there is no past tense. You live in Cheyenne country. What a phenomenal essay, Carleen! You are amazing!

You never know who will respond to your book or why. I sincerely believe that if you get an idea to write about something it's because someone else out there needs it. Very best wishes to you!!

I am sitting here with my laptop and paper everywhere, trying to convince myself not to give up on this book I am writing. But if I don't write the book, I really don't know what else to do with my life. Thanks for letting me know there is light at the end of the tunnel. This is such an inspiring article.
