I'm hoping for a lucky six weeks, too, and just thinking that I've been preparing for the six week miracle since 1973.Buttercuphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03804094230127512943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-42121273744818132212009-05-09T15:16:00.000-04:002009-05-09T15:16:00.000-04:00Awesome!Awesome!Danyelle L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10366276085080565870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-54271814610823238622009-05-09T10:36:00.000-04:002009-05-09T10:36:00.000-04:00WOW!!!

His book, 13 Reasons Why is on the NY Bestseller list. He went through FOUR agents and waited for TWELVE years before his big break. As much as I celebrate with Rosemary, I think Jay's story is more of the norm. As for Shamrock, what a cutie! I showed Saddlebreds for years in the Country Pleasure Division. Best of luck to Ivy, and tell her that no matter what happens, she should aim to have a great time and make lots of happy memories!Clementinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08745982305618408952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-80163804504477134702009-05-09T08:34:00.000-04:002009-05-09T08:34:00.000-04:00Glam, Yeah, I was wondering how I would have handl...Glam, Yeah, I was wondering how I would have handled it. The same with Carrie Ryan. Her book, The Forest of Hands and Teeth, came out in March and she's already sold the movie rights. :)<br /><br />Steph Su, I agree. There are a lot more of those stories than we realize. But there are authors who do literally spend YEARS trying to get published. Makes it all the sweeter, when it happens, don't you think?Robyn Campbellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17356555082768185840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-80759827751236244272009-05-09T03:11:00.000-04:002009-05-09T03:11:00.000-04:00Rosemary is crazy talented and definitely deserves...Rosemary is crazy talented and definitely deserves all the success she got. The rest of us might not have it as easy, but then again, I think we'd be going too hard on ourselves if we focus only on the success stories and don't think about how the majority of authors spend years writing their novel and years selling it. :)Steph Suhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834692034486125015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-23285809084290333392009-05-08T23:30:00.000-04:002009-05-08T23:30:00.000-04:00That's incredible!

I mean, there are some insanely talented people out there, you just have to be in the right place at the right time. I think it's luck, but that's just me :) In her case luck and talent though since there are some cases where it's just luck and not talent.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01395008376786680669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8281953808326156682.post-12224598843937140192009-05-08T16:50:00.000-04:002009-05-08T16:50:00.000-04:00Wow!
