Getting Published Isn't A Destination...It's A Journey
It's the 1 year anniversary of UNDERCURRENT (a Viking tale of love, honor, and sacrifice). Here are a few things I've learned from the publishing experience...

LOL, you're a hoot Michelle!!
Loved the shout out to Gwen, I second that!
Congrats on the one year anniversary with Undercurrent, what a great book (love the bookmarker also)!!!! You have nothing to worry about regarding whether your books are just as good as the previous one, no one writes adventures like you do, Michelle :)
Congrats on the royalty check as well; maybe your daughter will settle for a DVD or video game in place of the cat??? The sunglasses are a nice touch.
Thanks also for mentioning editors, good to know :) I hope you are satisfied with reviewers as well, or at least the good ones *smile*
Still praying for your mom and Burn Notice finished filming their scenes at my dad's park. I can't say anything yet, but get ready for more explosions :) Let me know when you've watched the 6th season. I don't want to give anything away until it airs, but i thought of you while it was going on.
Thanks for sharing about your publishing experience so far, I know God has MUCH MORE in store for you. Have a great weekend!
Blessings Michelle!!
I hope people realize you write some of the best characters in the business! I LOVED Undercurrent. The characters are unforgettable!!
You know what I really love? I LOVE MY BLOG READERS!!! Seriously. You guys are the best. I love how God has brought the absolute best people into my life. Thanks Kara and Ane. With cheerleaders like y'all, I'll never be discouraged.
Hi Michelle! *waving back* :-) Congrats on the 1st year anniversary of Undercurrent! Exciting! I thank God that He rigged that giveaway last year and introduced me to a wonderful Christian author who shares my love of adventure, humor and time travel. You're a blessing!
P.S. I think you need a cat.
Bless you Kara!
I need a cat as much as I need my head stapled to the carpet...but thanks for stopping by, Gwen! I think it's pretty cool how God has brought me great new friends like you.
Great Post Michelle. Your note to the ACFW did not get lost in the 'like-me' craze that swept it this weekend. I noticed the link and here I am. As a pre-published writer (the hopeful term the ACFW calls us) I have gained more from your video insight than I've been able to ask in questions so far. I think if I'm good enough and get to have an editor I'll write with more confidence. That's one thing I tell myself. And having deadlines is a good thing - not having them means some day's I can punt on writing to take care of the 'tyranny of the urgent' (as Charles Swindoll once labeled it). But good to know of the marketing side and the 'doubts.' Stephanie Grace Whitson sent a note recently in how I summarized my journey as 'normal' and that we all have doubts. But its fun to celebrate YOUR victory and Anniversary at the same time. I hope I have as much sense of humor at a one year mark for my book. Right now its just a foggy hope on the journey towards getting and then being published. Great post and thank you for sharing it with us.

Thanks for stopping by, Steve. Enjoy every step of your journey! I look forward to one day reading a book with your name on it.
Nice meeting you. Found you through Heather's blog. Look forward to learning more from you (I'm an aspiring author).
Hey TC...glad to meet you as well! Be forewarned, I'll be happy to teach you , but it might not all be socially acceptable.
