Or positive things you can focus on, or remind yourself of. It makes me think of when I go to the doctor (like when I had a baby) and they ask your pain level. Well, I don't know! It hurts REALLY bad. I would say a 9, but compared to someone who got shot or something it's probably more like a 3! I'm always comparing it to something that is probably worse pain. <br /><br />This book sounds ADORABLE! I think my daughter would probably like it a lot!

I really enjoyed your interview, and your books sounds great! I love the title, concept, and the little bit you shared about your character. I would love to know more about how you handle your small press business. I started a business of my own with Wings of Light Publishing for my books . . . but other than having a business license and putting that on my books, I haven't figured it all out yet. <br />Tyrean Martinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15356604721537744361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-25381280165886995552014-03-06T09:57:04.274-05:002014-03-06T09:57:04.274-05:00Your attitude of gratitude is truly inspiring, Nat...Your attitude of gratitude is truly inspiring, Natalie.

What I admire about you is that in spite of your struggles, you find the time to help others through this blog, and the thoughtful comments you leave on my blog tell me you are one cool lady. <br /><br />Congratulations, Kelly, on your new book. I remember back in middle school, a few girls I knew were going through this phase where they wore only black to "rebel" against wearing color but enough girls began doing this that it no longer seemed like a "rebellion" but more like trend following, and that it were the few girls who continued to wear color that became the true rebels. Reading about Stephani brought all those memories back. I love music, and your book sounds really neat. <br /> Cynthiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00912167351889969855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1746050382328975047.post-39243862420228592682014-03-05T13:37:57.041-05:002014-03-05T13:37:57.041-05:00Wow - Kelly's smile is as big and beautiful as...Wow - Kelly's smile is as big and beautiful as Julia Roberts's!
