Everytime I think I've commented or congra...Hi,<br />Everytime I think I've commented or congratulated you enough already, another interesting piece of news pops up seemingly out of nowhere. Big hugs to the newest Idaho state writer's award recepient. You shouldn't just be one of the best in Idaho, but the whole country as well. Also, awesome youtube video! It looked like a hollywood movie trailer! Speaking of hollywood, at this point, it wouldn't surprise me one bit they contact you wanting to turn your book into a tv movie. With you, anything absolutely amazing is possible! I'll be writing you again next month congratulating you on winning the nobel prize in literature! Could you say you absolutely blow my mind? Well..yeah. Could you also say a tad bit jealous? Sure, in all honesty, who wouldn't want to be published for the first time with an awesome book? That's a dream that only a select few can achieve in their lifetime. But, my happiness for you far outweighs<br />me being envious. Could any of this happen to a sweeter person? Of course not. It's only because I know you how kind you are why I'm not compleletly intimadated by you. Just 99 percent@laugh@ Do I even feel worthy enough to receive a copy of your book? No, not really. But you have all my contact info now so I'm hoping there might be a chance@laughs@ Anyway, I realize now that I can't write to you everytime you accomplish something or else I'd be writing you everyday of your life@laugh@ I hope your new book sells a million copies and that you can quit your job and retire to some tropical island! I hope to ať least buy one copy if possible. I may just have to take a trip to the Barnes and Noble at the Red Cliffs mall in St. George and see if its on the shelf. Or I may have to order it; I have no idea. Please keep me in the loop if possible. Hopefully, you still want to be friends with this crazy dumb guy@laughs@<br /> Your friend Rebecca Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06504542474632826725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892681307162986107.post-5551214309773837382016-10-04T12:53:03.621-07:002016-10-04T12:53:03.621-07:00Hi!

If you prefer email I just got a brand new computer so it took me awhile to change my passwords and accounts. Jimhakes11@gmail.com. Hugs Whatever you feel best using you can text or email anytime. I look so forward to reading it! <br /> Your friend,<br /> Jim HakesAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06504542474632826725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892681307162986107.post-89749522865141806682016-09-14T05:11:42.596-07:002016-09-14T05:11:42.596-07:00Hi Rebecca!,
Okay, first of all, you have to stop ...Hi Rebecca!,<br />Okay, first of all, you have to stop this whole novel writing thing; you're costing me way too much money. @big laugh@ You know I'm teasing you. How are you doing? Still can't compleletly wrap your head around what you've done? Let me tell you that it's nothing short of amazing! I read something online that said only two percent of new first time authors ever get published! Wow! You took care of that. Now, after reading the reviews, it looks like we can place your novel in the instant classic best-seller category! 'One of the best YA books of the year.' Are you kidding? It hasn't even come out in print yet! How is that even possible? <br />It's only possible when you have a special, talented, mind-blowingly brilliant author. And this is just the beginning of your career so I gotta save more money in the future�� I really like Kenna. I think that novel will be next if I had to make a prediction today. By the way, do need an agent? I work for free and for cannolis �� And I didn't mean to insult you by asking you for your book. I don't want any free handouts. Rebecca didn't spend the last ten years or so painstakingly working, pouring blood sweat and tears into her artistic creation for some dummy to just come along and say, "hey, how about a book?" So, the final step in all of this now is hopefully, helping each other out. I trust you 110 percent. But with more and more blog traffic comes moře prying eyes. I guess I feel a little uncomfortable putting my address out there. I can't change my address; I can always change my phone number though, so here it is: 7023066560. You don't have to call and talk just text me. Let me know if you have any copies and what kind of compensation you expect. @nice firm friendly handshake@ Also a friendly hug for being such a wonderful person and friend. More than likely, this is my final blog comment for 2016. I look forward to hearing from you anytime between now and the end of the year. God bless! Happy holidays! Best wishes to you Rebecca!<br /> Your friend,<br /> Jim Hakes <br />P.S If you want to throw in an embroidered pillow or t-shirt with books, we can text about that too��<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06504542474632826725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892681307162986107.post-5646913176815733422016-09-07T19:53:10.137-07:002016-09-07T19:53:10.137-07:00Hi!
I am so sorry for all the deleted messages. ...Hi! <br />I am so sorry for all the deleted messages. I thought I had hit the publish button once and for some reason the same message kept coming up again and again. Anyway, I have a question. Is it possible to purchase books directory from you? And could you sign one and write a message in one for me? I would like to purchase as many that are available. I will of course also reimburse you for the postage. Let mě know what you can do Rebecca. Thank you.<br /> JimAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443483079892549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892681307162986107.post-66391702747181967012016-09-07T19:34:39.983-07:002016-09-07T19:34:39.983-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443483079892549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892681307162986107.post-28019476947461676422016-09-07T19:31:36.394-07:002016-09-07T19:31:36.394-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443483079892549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892681307162986107.post-24799749921941117472016-09-07T19:29:17.966-07:002016-09-07T19:29:17.966-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443483079892549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892681307162986107.post-25970438314654004322016-09-07T03:31:25.514-07:002016-09-07T03:31:25.514-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443483079892549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892681307162986107.post-14968982126901024182016-09-07T03:28:37.157-07:002016-09-07T03:28:37.157-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443483079892549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892681307162986107.post-46483279485184153982016-09-07T03:22:44.963-07:002016-09-07T03:22:44.963-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443483079892549273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5892681307162986107.post-52325126363834955352016-09-07T03:18:37.963-07:002016-09-07T03:18:37.963-07:00Hi Rebecca,
How are you? If you were anywhere wit...Hi Rebecca,<br />How are you? If you were anywhere within armslength right now I'd give you the biggest and longest hug ever. What an accomplishment! Congratulations! I believe in the beginning of the year I told you that you would soon get published. How could you not? Your writing kept getting noticably better each time you made a revision. I was amazed but not surprised. I knew twenty or so years ago you were destined to be a great writer. I mean before there was blogging, there you were daily in the writing lab working on something. It was sometimes in English, but mostly in Italian. I could only pick out a word or phase here and there, while you would be translating it all to me. I was also writing for the Thunderbird newspaper at the time. It was a thrill for me to see my work in print with my name on it. I can imagine how excited you must feel with your novel coming out. I share your excitement! I've tried to put the word out about your novel. I also plan to get on that writer's website where it says help Rebecca. I think you have a cool writing support center going on with great comments and feedback. I love the fact that you are not only part of writing contests, but also hold your own contests to encourage others to write. You then get to judge, and the winner gets an advanced copy of your new novel! Way cool! And since I can't write a lick, I'll have to wait until December to get my copy😁 I look forward to it! It seems like a perfect time for it to come out just before Xmas. At last check, I had about twenty people interested. And you know me, I'll do my part! You want me to buy a million copies I'll try my darndest 😃<br />I know I am not a part of your everyday circle of friends anymore, but I would love to stay in touch. It's funny that back in the early 2000s I wanted to look you up. I was in the Twin Falls area. A beautiful area! I was near the snake river. I wanted to invite you to an indian artifact dig. I remembered you enjoyed doing that too. I can't even remember the name of the indian tribe that is up there now. Anyway, I'll stop my rambling and let you go. Take care! God Bless! Best wishes for future success, with your writing, as well with life in general. I enjoy hearing from you. Love your blog! You're awesome! You can pat yourself on the back for many reasons!<br /> Hopefully still friends,<br /> Jim Hakes<br /> p.s. ignore my incognito google login☺Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18443483079892549273noreply@blogger.com
