I've already had a few people say, "Something you wrote resonated with me because I had a similar experience in my life." Such a great feeling. I still hope to hear more fo that, but I hope someone says, "I hope they find some manuscripts she hid in a drawer or in the cloud that get published."

Great post, Kathryn. I would want my readers to say, "Reading her books brought me joy," because that's what reading books by my favorite authors does for me.

Kathryn, this is a pot of gold for new thinking! You could create a new road map for your writing goals with these thoughts. Gosh, I don't know what they'd say at my grave (or when they shake my urn considering being put in the ground terrifies me! ha ha ) ... Maybe they'd give me a good shake and say "She was a true storyteller and fulfilled her dream to do so."

In reply to karenmcfarland. I love how so many of the women here wish to move people to laughter or tears, or like you Karen, to impart love, hope, and encouragement. Great reminder to us all that while the act of writing fiction, like any career, might pull us now from time spent with loved ones, leaving our stories behind can be a very loving thing to do.
