Of course, everyone's going to want her to get her comeuppance.  I suspect that's on it's way at the hands of Mrs. Hightower.

But why not have Aunt Sophie meet her match?  Let her meet and fall for someone who appears to be everything that she hates...but can't get enough of.  Let her experience some of the things for which she criticizes others.  Let her have to go to some of the same folks she's done wrong for help/advice.  It will expose her judgemental ways and make her rethink her behavior.

I know you've got it in you, Gwyneth!

I can't wait to know more about all of the Hightowers but I'm going with Terrill because of his faithfulness to his promise to Penny.  So many years had gone by.  He certainly could have reached out to Jason but he never did, even though it meant losing his best guy friend.  Now that's loyalty.  Who wouldn't want a guy like that?

A question for Ms. Howard:

How do you see the New Spirit line, which has very few, if any, releases on a monthly basis, in relation to the Love Inspired line, which is growing and now includes suspense and historicals in addition to contemporary stories, but rarely includes characters of color as the main characters? 

What is the vision for Kimani New Spirit?

Hi everyone!

 Kara I read your story too and loved it.  I like that you've worked out an entire series.  I'm wondering if the matchmakers will wind up fixing each other up somewhere along the way, even though their names are not in the book titles.

Yes, Chelle, you're right.  Can't disappear on this group and expect to keep up.  Jan was soooo busy.  My other favorite boards had 30-40 new msgs each.  673?  I'm thinking the Supers group has to be setting records!

Tasha, did you say chocolate competition judge?  Where do we sign up?   I'm with you on the Superbowl commercials.  They're just not what they used to be.

Hi Michelle and Crystal.  Welcome!

Beckie, I'm not a member but if it's a Yahoo group, log in to the group and Edit Your Membership.  You can unsubscribe there.  You may still get a few straggler messages due to a time differential between when they're sent and when you unsubscribe but only a few.  

Another option is to change your delivery method to Daily Digest.  You will get one or two emails per day with all of the emails bundled.  And you can use the list at the top of the email, which shows the subject lines and senders, to pop to the ones you most wish to read.

I totally hear you on the email volume, though.  Even with Daily Digests, I find myself unsubscribing from groups and blogs.

Will. Not. Catch. Up.  673 new messages???

In two pages I learned:

-- There's been some Meyers-Briggs testing going on

-- A few folks have posted snippets from their current wips (sorry about your revision snafu, Ami!)

-- I'm not the only person who finds the N. Sparks' books boring

-- Chelle had a great "non-date", complete with limo and tulips

Hugs and cheers wherever appropriate.  I'm celebrating the 20th anniversary of my 25th birthday, my favorite one, today!  LOL!  I didn't do anything special on my birthday that year, or at least I don't recall, but I do remember that I celebrated the whole year.  Drove my friends crazy but I had a ball!

Hi Julie!  Nice to meet you and welcome back to the boards!  Prayers for you and your family.

Popping in!  Forgot I had posted my goal.  Not much writing in January but good thing I wrote those seven pages last night.  Time to get cracking!

AmyMichelle,  I think my comment piggybacks on the one about focusing your writing.  (I can't remember who said it.)

Consider getting to the novel of your dreams in steps.  Finding outlets for articles or short stories is a good way to get your feet wet, get useful feedback, and build your confidence.  That has worked for me.

So sorry to hear of your loss.  My prayers are with you.
