Keep going </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-of-my-short-stories-is-finally-available-online#post-957725 Mon, 17 Jun 2013 02:00:16 +0000 Jaime 957725@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nancy thank you for leading me to your story. I do sympathize a lot with the difficulty of self promotion (I don't have anything to promote but can imagine!). &nbsp;Anyway, when I read your story I&nbsp;was completely removed from where I was and transported into the world you created. I hope you know that I mean that as very high praise. And I hope you continue to share anything else you publish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-of-my-short-stories-is-finally-available-online#post-957402 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 16:00:19 +0000 Anonymous 957402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Nancy.

Hard to explain, but that last line says it all - the idea that even if it's not perfect, it can be made so. Thank you for sharing this story with us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-of-my-short-stories-is-finally-available-online#post-957145 Sun, 16 Jun 2013 02:35:42 +0000 Sarah A 957145@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also look forward to taking in your short story while on vacation next week Thanks for the link! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-of-my-short-stories-is-finally-available-online#post-956871 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 20:04:11 +0000 nancylee 956871@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Isabel, Beth Ann, Diana, elpgal, deb, and Angie...a big thank you! &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-of-my-short-stories-is-finally-available-online#post-956695 Sat, 15 Jun 2013 15:09:27 +0000 Angie 956695@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Congrats and cheers to many more published pieces, Nancy!

You are very talented. Hope to see more of your work. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-of-my-short-stories-is-finally-available-online#post-955777 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 16:07:54 +0000 tarzy 955777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for sharing this. As a writer myself, I know how hard is is to promote yourself. Personally, I often feel a huge disconnect between the private isolation of the writing process and the public exposure of having the work out there. Good for you for taking that risk! (And of course, you know you're among friends here.) </p> <p>Setting up your own website can be easy and relatively inexpensive, and it really is a necessity these days. I look forward to seeing more of your work! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-of-my-short-stories-is-finally-available-online#post-955772 Fri, 14 Jun 2013 16:02:49 +0000 missvee 955772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely!
