I am glad to hear that your cooking class project is going well. That sounds really scary to me - I get nervouw cooking with friend in the kitchen, forget about doing demos! It's great that you're finding success in something youn love. That's all too rare.<BR/><BR/>Happy birthday!Pyewackethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13374398638186744765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-1164633323237081192006-11-27T08:15:00.000-05:002006-11-27T08:15:00.000-05:00Hi Lucette,So glad you are writing again!

Blogging gave me a place to be creative anonymously and w/o pressure, and it led me back to the fun of writing, which I thought I'd lost.<BR/>I wish I was in range of your class--I'd love to take it.mary grimmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04294368835776483342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-1164499550963275482006-11-25T19:05:00.000-05:002006-11-25T19:05:00.000-05:00Congratulations, Helen - your blog is one of the b...Congratulations, Helen - your blog is one of the best fish blogs out there and we love reading all of your stuff!!

I love stories of people finding the courage to leave corporate life.<BR/><BR/>With a growing number of students perhaps you can self publish and sell directly to them and through the blog. Cut out the middle man. There have been some great examples of this - I think Julia Cameron's "The Artist's Way" was originally self published (?) and Dr Sandra Cabot of the "Liver Cleansing Diet" fame in Australia (#1 best seller for months.GShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963643826578219126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-1164244830161671002006-11-22T20:20:00.000-05:002006-11-22T20:20:00.000-05:00Congratulations on the transition!

I find blogs to be a much more flexible and interesting media than the printed books. In fact, I learn from your blogs every day :) Keep up your creativity and resourcefulness. You are all an inspiration to me.<BR/><BR/>Cheers,<BR/>-HelenHelenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12271344371852988017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-1164089399257457002006-11-21T01:09:00.000-05:002006-11-21T01:09:00.000-05:00Congratulations, Helen, both on the blog birthday ...Congratulations, Helen, both on the blog birthday and throwing yourself full time into the cooking school!<BR/><BR/>I agree with Tanna about the blog not necessarily being a downgrade from a book. My first taste of publishing was an underground literary magazine I started in high school, followed by the same in college, followed by a weekly paper in Chicago which was fun, but went broke quick. The publishing bug has never gone away, though, and a blog was the perfect way for me to jump back into it. Not only is it dirt cheap to do, but it can be as do-it-yourself and as interactive and immediate as you want it to be. And blogs like yours are an inspiration to us all.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-1164063792136586652006-11-20T18:03:00.000-05:002006-11-20T18:03:00.000-05:00Many congratulations!Many congratulations!Alanna Kellogghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12869948243694610558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17422713.post-1164063172579742652006-11-20T17:52:00.000-05:002006-11-20T17:52:00.000-05:00Happy Birthday blog!Congratulations on quiting you...Happy Birthday blog!<BR/>Congratulations on quiting your day job!!!<BR/>I'm not sure that the blog is a downgrade from a book.
