  You gave a great presentation! I especially liked how you suggested reading psychology books as research for characters. I just bought your book yesterday, but as soon as I read it, I'm going to come back to tell you how wonderful it is :)

  I love this post! Especially "Tell others how much you love their work. Online. In person." It means so much.

  2008 was the first year I attended Spring Spirit too! I still remember Kirby's talk and the loooong revision letter she showed us for Hattie #1. And...I think you're amazing. You are my favorite Tudor author. I will read anything you write (even if it's non-Tudor!0. So keep writing, the world needs to have your books!

  Katy, what a fantastic and inspiring story! I am afraid of microphones too. I already think I sound like a muppet; don't need it to be amplified 10X! I'm so glad you gave the presentation and met a true fan!
  Thank you for a wonderful presentation. I can't wait to get to work on adding the real to my fiction. Now I'm sure I can create a character outside my own experiences.
  Awesomesauce, Katy! So proud of you!

  I think we all need a little whisper (or a shout!) that we're doing something right sometimes. That conference--and now all of your comments--have really given me a boost this week. Thank you all so much!
