I am so impressed. I am writing my own book right now, and it's a daunting task. Excellent job! And even better that they appeal to kids and teach a lesson.

Congratulations and keep up the good work(s)!

so now what | 9:57 p.m. Sept. 5, 2009

Do you go to college and keep on writing? in the writing business this is known as self-promotion, and selling such things in Utah through... outlets is very easy.

Shoot the moon, girl!! Expand on your work. Send them in to the big time publishers and get hollywood or bollywood to buy them...

then you have arrived!!!

Keep the dream, send the manuscripts out of Utah if you want to make a difference in the world.

Congrates Melissa, I am so proud of you...2 authors in the same family!! I'll be looking for a signed copy... Love you lots

hmmmm | 11:34 a.m. Sept. 6, 2009

It is self promotion, but then again... that is how the world turns.

Send the scripts in to Hollywood and see what happens. Might be interesting...

PS -- Go to Northwestern University if you want to become a serious writer.

idea time | 7:53 a.m. Sept. 7, 2009

Now, take this idea to the next level.

(It is up to you to find that next idea and to decide on what level you are aiming at.)
