Rachel has saved me more than once. I honestly do not think I would still be here trying w my novel.without her. She's also kind and funny (her launch diaries are hysterical AND helpful) and makes me want to try to be a better human. I doubt God alot lately and just as often I think Rachel is my sign God is here. Thanks for featuring her.

Rachel is a gift from above, no doubt! Like you, I love reading her posts because I laugh and learn every time. I’m not surprised that she’s helped you a lot. That’s just the kind of person she is. But I love knowing that she’s helped you keep writing. Thanks for reading, and sharing your experience, Renee!

WOW is all I can say--I feel the same way about my "writing date peeps," who changed everything for me for the better and forever, and it makes me SO HAPPY to think I might have paid forward, in the tiniest way, all that our beautiful group (including you Renee and Marta) has given to me. Thank you both for these words, I'm so grateful our paths have connected!

Great message. I love the part about doing things that scare you. Keep doing them. What a powerful experience with her brain tumor. Against all odds…an eye opener. Thank you, Marta, for giving her the space to tell her story…

Do it Scared! Love that! I think that’s one of the main things that holds people back from following dreams. Being scared, afraid, worried. Face it and do it scared! Love it!

Right?! Feel the fear and chase your dreams anyway. Do it scared! πŸ’«πŸ’«πŸ’«

Easier said than done I know, but I am a worrier anyway so I always say I might as well do something productive while I'm at it πŸ˜‚
