I don't exactly know how to describe this, but it is incredibly strange, knowing of you as a person beyond this blog. Like I don't mean this to sound weird, but I live in the town you (used?) to live in, and I know people you know. And the fact that you're so, so talented and successful and published makes me insanely jealous. Just the idea of someone so close by, achieving something I dream of too...

That’s so cool that you live in my hometown! Do you think I would know you? Because I’d love to talk to someone from my hometown again.

Please don’t be jealous- you said you dream of being published. If you want it bad enough, you’ll find a way to make it happen. Also, if you want to, I can give you my email address so we can talk through email and I can give you some info about publishing. That might help.

Unless we’re already friends on Facebook or something and I just don’t know? If so, you can always shoot me a message there.

Hope to hear back from you soon! :)
