I keep saying one of these days I'll go on there more, but usually follow anyone who follows me, and use the site mostly when I have freebie promos.Morgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-72663095941941440862014-02-26T19:47:55.092-07:002014-02-26T19:47:55.092-07:00Thank you so much for sharing your story with us! ...Thank you so much for sharing your story with us!

When I see pins that resonate with my imaginary world, I save them. I have a Steampunk photo collection that is inspiring! And storybook cottages. And men in kilts.

I had no idea the man I was speaking with was an acquiring editor, and he invited me to come pitch my book the next day. Right place, right time is something we can't really control, but it does play a part. Now, I'll go look at my Pinterest boards again. I really have no clue what I'm doing over there.Terry Odellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11610682530545306687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-68474223678917275732014-02-26T09:37:52.123-07:002014-02-26T09:37:52.123-07:00Congrats on your success, Pamela.

I credit my first nonfiction book contract to the same kind of luck, which mean it is soooo important for us to keep putting proposals and queries out there.
