Hi Donna, I just want to thank you for all the lovely stories you create. I grew up in a childrens home in South Africa from a very young age and I can't imagine a time that I haven't been spinning stories just to survive. It used to me my escape, to tell you the truth, it still is. I was 13 years old when I 'graduated' to novels, I always had my nose in a book and had read everything for my age by then. I just wish I had the courage to publish, but as I have no training in writing, I don't think I will be able to take rejections to well... Anyway, Thanks for the lovely stories, I particularly liked Return of the Rogue! Regards, Stephanie
Don't worry about formal training just write. The more you write, the more you learn. But most of all be determined and learn from your rejections. There isn't a single writer who hasn't received numerous rejections. It's not letting it stop you that makes the difference. So write, write, write! And good luck and know that you did have training; you always had your nose in a book and you wrote. Best training you could get. Keep at it! And so glad to hear you like my books. Donna
