Thanks so much for this opportunity, ladies. I truly had a great time doing this, and really think that Tee is on to something big! LOL

Take care, and hopefully, I’m crossing my fingers that I’ll be invited back to attend another blogchat event. Meanwhile, I’m going to drop in from time to time and enjoy some of your other chats going forward.

Enjoy the rest of your week!

Whew! What a discussion, ladies. We’re going to wrap things up this morning with any final questions or comments. JD, you were a pro with keeping up with things and we appreciate the opportunity.

I’ll be back in a few hours to close things out, but want to thank you all VERY MUCH for your participation. Please take a minute and click Reply (in this response), so we can do a roll call of sorts, to let JD know where we all are.

Yes, I believe Connie deserved to have the child and I was happy with her decision. We all make mistakes in life, yet it is possible to learn from them and actually grow. I think she had made it to that point.

Peaches, I agree. I’ve never understood situations like this why the child isn’t told when they reach an age where they can understand it. I think they have the right to know where they came from, no matter how complicated.

My sister and I were adopted at 8 and while we reacted differently when we actually understood what that meant, I’m glad we were told. Kids are a lot more resilient than we sometimes give them credit for.

Thanks so much for sharing that, JD. I think there are a lot of unrealistic expectations for authors starting out sometimes. And, so true on Walter Mosley! I’ve read quite of few of his books and really like his ability to write in various genres and outside of the box. 47 and The Man in My Basement were two of my favorites.

LOL @ plugging into a Kindle.

I would rather she had the abortions and giving up the child than to raise them and maybe turn out like her mother.

LOL…a Kindle for JD’s brain. Seriously though, you need to write those ideas down somewhere so WE will have access to more great stories from you.

By: JD Mason

JD Mason — Wed, 17 Jun 2009 02:19:55 +0000

Other than during the editing process, Brenda, I have never read any of my books from cover to cover. I can’t get through any of them LOL

It’s weird, but I can’t explain it. As far as what I’ve learned about myself as a writer, well, I’ve learned that I’m lazy. I’ve discovered that I love making up stories, but I really don’t care much for the process of getting those stories out of my head and down on paper (or into my laptop). Part of the reason is that I have tons of stories stuck in my head because I can’t write fast enough to get them out as quickly as they come to me. So, I tend to feel a little frustrated.

Ideally, if there was a way to plug one end of a cord into my brain and the other end into a Kindle or something for readers, I think that would be perfect.

Thank you so much, Terra. After reading both of the previous books in the series, I’m hoping that YGSTGS will help tie it all together for you.

Thanks Wana. I’m glad you like them.
