I watched the Oprah show tonight and I was so glad to see Stephanie Meyer's interview become a very positive training tool. Sucess stories like Stephanie Meyer's is the reason I keep repeating my message all the time. She wrote the Twilight Series.
I know Stephanie's story about how she came to write the book and have it published is what we all as writers work for. It's just like any of our stories... except she made it happen for herself. She could be any of you sitting out there ready to give up...DON'T! I believe her story can be your story. She kept trying even though she got rejected many times.
What an interview! It was so powerful and wonderful. She is all of us that keep writing day in and day out. It does happen. Listening to everything Stephanie said I knew that her story is a great one. Success can happen.
Sometimes when writers like myself sit in front of the computer or stare at a blank piece of paper we have to believe we can do this. Sometimes a pep talk to ourselves is the only way we can get the words on the page. I have faith that my work will not go unnoticed but if by some small chance I'm wrong about my work I am still very happy that I self - published my books. Somewhere,somehow I know it will happen. And just as I know that I also know all of you that are reading this will also have that chance at success.
When you have a chance go to Stephanie's website and read her story. Once you finish reading about her success you will feel like continuing on with your project.I know I did. http://www.stepheniemeyer.com/twilight.html

The Climbing Boy Is Magical
The book market seems to be over crowded by books that after the last page is read you forget the details of the book, who wrote it and pretty soon the entire memory of the book is gone. That is not the case with Mark Lichterman’s book, The Climbing Boy. We thank Metropolis Ink. for discovering the author, Mark Lichterman, a truly wonderful storyteller.
The story of The Climbing Boy takes place on December 24, 1843 the day before Christmas. The magical moments and the hope for a future of wonderful things to come are what makes this book an exceptional read. Metropolis Ink has truly found a treasure.
This year has been a very stressful one for most of us and that is why Michigan Avenue Media LLC. recommends this book for everyone. The magical feelings that evoke from this wonderful Christmas book are emotionally satisfying. The Climbing Boy has all the possibilities of becoming a classic and we know it will. When something this special comes along we can’t help but hope others feel as we do.
Here are some of the reviews from Amazon:

Loved it, best book I have read in years. A friend told me about it and loaned me a copy. Whatever I say would not begin to do it justice. Buy it or if necessary borrow it but read it and enjoy. Im sure you will as I did, want it in your permanent collection. Mark is a true artist and I look forward to his next work

This 'feel good' tale by Mark Lichterman, a relatively unknown, but upcoming author, is way more than just another Christmas story. It is a classic description of the London chimney sweeping trade, brought to life by superb characterization of its main players. The reader immediately bonds with Zachariah, an eight year old child, who you want to bring home, bathe, feed, clothe and just cuddle. He will steal your heart while other feelings of anger, rage and resentment arise from the provocative personality of William Johnson, the boy's Master. Lichterman, in expert fashion, weaves a very twisted, intertwining yarn that has you holding your breath until the very end. This book is a must read and I can hardly wait to get a copy of the authors newest book, Becoming.
A great read, July 21, 2003

It is a great read. I believe that it should be made into a movie by Disney.
Great Book

Mark Lichterman wrote an excellent book. I truly believe that Disney or Pixar studios should do an animation movie of the book. It would make a great film that would appeal to both adults and children. I hope he writes more books in the future.

You can really feel like your part of the story. The people in the book are so real.
Also, it wasn't hard to use. I just clicked on a little icon after inserting the cd into my computer. I think this is a good e-book for people who are new to their computers.

Remember The Reader
I would hope even though it's hard to keep getting rejection notices that writers will keep writing. I have said before that I have never let that stop me from going on with my career. I know it might sound crazy to some but I refuse to give up.
For the last several weeks I have been trying to focus on what I can do to help new writers keep writing and what I have come up with is to show them how I continue on. I am writing a new book because it makes me happy. That is really what’s important.
Many people have asked me why I have self – published books. My answer is always the same. That wasn’t my original plan. I now feel so lucky that self- publishing has turned into a very impressive division of the writing world.
When my books are being read, the reader isn’t as interested in the publisher as they are in the author. They really don’t care who publishes the book, they are reading the story. If they like what they have read I have done my job. With all the talk about self publishing, the one thing that is hardly ever talked about is the reader. If the reader is happy I am happy. So, when you’re sitting at your computer wondering if what you are doing makes any sense at all try to remember, give your reader a good story and they will come back for more.
