Dear Loré,
This is fun. I’ve always felt that Friday Fictioneers is more of a community than just a blog challenge. This broadens our scope of reference, doesn’t it?
Shalom,

What I’d love to do. With these is to run them through an analysis to see the common themes. It would be fascinating to figure out the top ten. Cheers!

Not a bad idea, Erin. So far I see that we’re all thankful for running water and technology. 😉 Without which, where would blogging be?

Thank you for suggesting this, Dawn. I’ll be happy to help with the inLinkz. When I first started Madison walked me through it with screen shots. Then InLinkz changed things and I had to learn all over again.

Dear Amy,
You’ve made me feel quite special and have given me reason to smile this morning.
On facebook, Liz asked me if the second book being published was as exciting as the first. Yes. It is. And now that I’m writing the third in the series, I still feel like a beginner and I’m still incredulous that my dream that began ten years ago is coming true.
As for my list, I didn’t think I could type fast enough to make 50 in 10 minutes. My mom who begged me to take typing would be so proud. 😉 I didn’t take typing in school, my mother sat me down with my brother’s text book. I’d be a mess without backspace and delete keys. (You wanted to know all that, right?)
Thank you so much for being a part of what I’m thankful for.
Shalom,
Rochelle
