Thank you Cindy. i cannot imagine being compared to anything better than a cat with so many lives. Also, I’m always curious about other people and how they live and wanting to taste a bit of their lives. . . . .just to know what it is like.
Aren’t you glad we are writers?

Thanks for all you do for this organization! Putting together the multiple anthologies takes savoir-faire as well as a heck of a lot of time and patience. Hope our paths cross again this year. I think perhaps our ancestors’ paths might have. My maternal ancestors arrived in Burlington, NJ in 1666 and lived in those environs. They were Quakers. So glad they broke some rules and got written up. That helps the genealogist locate them. Take care, Arlene!

Oh Ann, your words bring tears of gratitude to my eyes. We’re continuing the Omnibus again this year and I’ll be looking forward to your submission. Your writing brings out a direction we need to see on paper. (or an ebook form. lol) Thank you.

Thanks Nancy. I think we late bloomers have a lot to add, bring another viewpoint, with a different energy.

I admire you for taking every opportunity to build your presence as an accomplished writer, one step at a time. Your example as a fine writer and a kind person will continue to push me to keep trying. Thank you for your post.
