It was totally worth it to me. :)<br /><br />Marsha, I had to go down to corporate and get my copy. I was contacted about it, though.

I broke down and bought one so I could cradle it in my arms. It's so big you have to do that, anyway! I love what the book designer did with our essays. Yes, my mother is represented. As I look back on her life, I gain new appreciation for the growth I can see from my earliest memories until the end of her life. She's a good example to me. I hope I've achieved enough measurable growth to honor her teachings as well as enhance my life and those around me.Marsha Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389060049107102815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421706587311875668.post-74561033932969218062012-04-25T15:55:02.539-06:002012-04-25T15:55:02.539-06:00I don't know about Julie's, Jon, but I had...I don't know about Julie's, Jon, but I had a short story accepted this month for a compilation based on the Young Women's Values being put together by Walnut Springs Press, but was told the only "compensation" would be a free copy of the book. I'm okay with that considering it took me all of two hours to write and edit that short story. Mostly, I wanted to get my name in front of that editor again, since I have two full manuscripts on submission to her at the moment. How did you put it? Good karma?

Do you split royalties (possibly unevenly) with the editor? Do you get a flat amount for contributing a story and then hope for good press/karma for your other books?Jon Spellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13283068961865370674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4421706587311875668.post-54135118460507554972012-04-25T11:22:08.965-06:002012-04-25T11:22:08.965-06:00Thank you Debra. :)

You are an inspirational mother. And if I had a mother to buy it for, I would not put a post-it note over your picture.
