I'm sitting here somewhat in awe, because when I met Dan Miller back in May, I had published chapters in other people's books, including Chicken Soup for the Soul, but no books of my own. I learned a really valuable lesson from Dan (actually many lessons!): take action. It may not be perfect, he said, but take action.
Nearly six months later, I have finished four books. The one I started two and half years ago is coming out soon-- I'm so excited I just had to share! Two and Half Years Later, We Have a Book
Feeling so blessed to have met Dan (thank you, Dan) and the wonderful folks here in the 48 Days community!

Don't you just love that picture? That idea came to me when we were brainstorming some marketing ideas for the book, so the next day, we took his favorite books out on the water and had a fun photo shoot!

Congrats to you Karen! You commented on my blog review of the film and are a featured story in the film: I'm Fine, Thanks!
I now understand your injury. Four books finished in 6 months is astounding, what an accomplishment! Keep us posted on your journey and the best success is at your doorstep.
Wishing you the Best,
