THANK YOU!!!!
Monday 11th August 2008
I had the coolest email this week, from a girl thanking me for the books, and for writing back to her when she emails… and it got me thinking. We don’t say thank you often enough! So let’s do something about it….
Here is Emma’s email, which started me thinking….
Thanks Cathy for writing to me the way you do. You’re an international writer who has loads of fans and yet you still take time to write back to each one of us personally. You answer our questions and help us out. I know no other author who does that so thanks!
And thanks, too, because your books are so inspirational. They help me understand and believe and want to stand up for myself! Thanks, Cathy!
So… who would I say thanks to? Lot of people, for lots of things!!!!
A big THANKS to my fab family, for putting up with me… to my friends… to all the fab crew at Puffin books & also to my agent, for making my dreams come true… to my writer-gal pals, Fiona Gibson, Lisa Clark, Magi Gibson & Meg Rosoff, for patience, laughs & understanding… to Fluffy Puffin, for everything… to Kitty’s Tearoom, for having the best cake in the known universe… to the cool kids who came to the EDINBURGH BOOK FEST recently, to see me…. to everyone who emails me with feedback & support… everyone who voted for me in Queen of Teen… to Daisy & Kelpie (dogs), Midnight & Snowy (rabbits) & Lily, Pickle & Pepper (cats) for letting me stroke them… to llamas, for existing… and lots, lots more. Including Emma N, for giving me the cool idea for this blog!
What would YOU say thanks for? Let me know in the box below… keep your comments short, & I’ll post the best online!
I totaly agree about saying thank you we don’t say it alot and think about it it only takes a second to say so…I’m going to say a big thank you to my mum and dad who buy me all my cathy cassidy books,a huge thank you to my best friend Erin who lends me her cathy cassidy books and thank you to the one and only Cathy Cassidy who writes the books I love so much love amie xxx
I think that thanks is really great! As Emma said it is wonderful for you to reply to us, Cathy! Will you ever be in Inverclyde, Scotland any time because I live in Inverclyde and think it would be really great to meet you. I have your new book, Gingersnaps and i got it for £9.99 out of WHSmith but I can tell you, it was worth it! Love all your books, especially Lucky Star as it is so emotional! If you are able to reply i would love this as you are my favourite Author!
Kind Regards,
Lucy.
