I don't get on the EC loop much any...Thanks, Sally! I don't get on the EC loop much anymore but I loved it when I wasn't the newbie and could help others feel comfortable with the overwhelming rush of new things. And I love your book. Reading and reviewing them was definitely my pleasure. <BR/><BR/>It's going to be so amazing to have all five of us together in Orlando! I can't wait to meet you in person.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, TK! (my twin sister from another mother *g*) I had Candy reaad the story before I posted it, but actually posting it wasn't as hard as it would have been before RT. And doing so didn't make me feel exposed, just proud over how far I've come.Nicole Austinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14125715296952131285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37096942.post-52580532864462999882008-05-22T13:18:00.000-04:002008-05-22T13:18:00.000-04:00Have I mentioned how proud I am that you're my sis...Have I mentioned how proud I am that you're my sis? As we are twins, I fully relate to your story. I'm proud of you simply because you had the courage to share the story in public forum. Every woman needs a helping hand from a hussy to find the hussy in her own self.<BR/><BR/>I was so proud to see all those pictures coming in from RT I was running around yelling, John! John! Look at my sis! Isn't she wonderful! Isn't she beautiful!<BR/><BR/>Love ya, sis.TK Wintershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12250948812067318368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37096942.post-13870887139847226242008-05-22T10:32:00.000-04:002008-05-22T10:32:00.000-04:00Aw... Nic! That is such a fantastic story about re...Aw... Nic! That is such a fantastic story about releasing your inner hussy! <BR/><BR/>When Ci and I started talking about inviting other authors to be hussies, you were the first one I thought of. <BR/><BR/>You were the first author in EC (a stranger so to speak, second only to my pre-EC friend, Ruth D. Kerce), to welcome me as a fellow author. You offered me friendship and even read my books! I was and still am so honored! But you went beyond that and actually reviewed my first book and subsequent ones and again, I am so overwhelmed and honored by one of my peers.<BR/><BR/>When you accepted our invitaion, I was just so darn excited because I'd felt a kindred connection with you from day one and the bond of a Hussy was just the natural order of that first email hello!<BR/><BR/>Congratulations on your self-discovery! What you've gained no one can ever take from you. <BR/><BR/>You are Hussy, hear you roar! I can't wait to meet you and the other hussies face-to-face at RT 2009! <BR/><BR/>Big Hussy Hugs! Love ya and so proud of ya!Sally Painterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05591161506655566078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37096942.post-16858008877826605872008-05-22T09:02:00.000-04:002008-05-22T09:02:00.000-04:00Thanks, NJ! I do too. The first RT is just like......Thanks, NJ! I do too. The first RT is just like...whoa. Hopefully it will help you to have friends from online around you. That made a big difference for me!<BR/><BR/>Ci, you rock! I am constantly amazed and humbled by your talent. ILYNNTW, too!

I have seen you blossom. <BR/><BR/>The first time I met you, (remember the LJ party?) you stood off to one side, those amazing eyes taking in everything, but not mingling a lot. I liked you so much and really did see something amazing lurking behind those bright eyes.<BR/><BR/>The second time,(Daytona) you were mingling a bit more, but still doing more watching than anything. I remember thinking that there was a LOT lurking beneath the surface and I was quite intrigued to discover what all was hiding behind those eyes.<BR/><BR/>I knew beyond all dount that when it came to the Hussies, we HAD to have you. That inner Hussy was something I wanted to see break free. (And I was so eager for the super nova that was going to accompay the event).<BR/><BR/>Now this year at RT, you were a confident, vivacious and sensual woman who no one would guess had ever suffered a shy or insecure moment.<BR/><BR/>Seeing the release of the inner Hussy is like watching a gorgeous sunrise. A new aspect emerged and the result? Baby you're one kick-ass woman. Smart, talented, funny, confident, sexy and with a sense of adventure and fun that is contagious.<BR/><BR/>I feel a little weepy to be honest. Thanks for sharing and ...<BR/><BR/>yes ...<BR/><BR/>you know it's coming ...<BR/><BR/>ILYNNTW!<BR/><BR/>(well until I come back as a man, you know - then you better run like hell!)Ciana / Synecahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07299482063801023059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37096942.post-89153448469288520492008-05-22T06:45:00.000-04:002008-05-22T06:45:00.000-04:00Love that picture!As someone who was painfully shy...Love that picture!<BR/><BR/>As someone who was painfully shy as a child, I understand how stressful social situations can be. Heck, I wouldn't even answer the phone as a kid unless forced.<BR/><BR/>I've gotten so much better as an adult. I think working in retail for almost 20 years helped. LOL <BR/><BR/>Next year will be my first RT. I'm excited and scared to death at the same time. :-)N.J.Waltershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18099894498766052188noreply@blogger.com
