Hi, writers! Shan, Jill, and I are off for the next couple weeks to enjoy our kiddos during their holiday break. We’ll be back Monday, January 7th, but before we go, here’s are 4 things we want to tell you:
We are so grateful for you!
We’ve had the best time reading through the feedback from the survey. You guys are so thoughtful with your compliments and your criticism. What an honor to get to hang out with you all!
I’ve emailed the winners of the 1,000 word critiques. If you weren’t one of them, there will be more chances in 2019 to receive feedback on your work. Many of you indicated you would like that, and we took it to heart!
