I am thankful God gave me the imagination needed to be a children's writer.
I am thankful to have the time to put my thoughts into words.
I am thankful I write a column for children.
I am thankful I had a short story published in an anthology.
I am thankful I belong to a writer's group.
I am thankful to be surrounded by books.
I am thankful to have my writing friends to encourage me each day.
I do not have an agent, I do not have a publisher, and none of my children's stories are published yet, but . . .
I am glad my thankful list is larger than my do not have list, and that brings a smile to my face.

ReplyDeleteJanet, I enjoyed reading your writer's thankful list. Mine is pretty much the same as yours, but I will add that I'm thankful for having stories included in two Chicken Soup for the Soul books this fall.
ReplyDeleteKeep up the great work and Happy Thanksgiving to you and your family.
