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!
hey, i am new to this but i just had to leave a comment. you’re books are so amazing that i cant even put it into words. some of these books…well lets just say they have touched my heart and burrowed in my head and are not coming out. i have all of you’re books and i love lucky star/dizzy because i see myself as mouse in a way (although i am a girl). indigo blue i can relate to, scarlett is what i want to be, sundae girl gives me hope and ginger snaps reminds me of who i was. so thank you cathy, for giving me hope, letting me dream and most importantly for you’re books. i dont know where i would be without them. and from the bottom of my heart thank you. (:
This is the first time I’ve written to you, so I can’t really say thank you yet, but I think it’s a great idea to say thanks to everyone for helping you and everything. By the way, do you remeber me? I was at one of your book signings where you forgot your little book, so could you put me in it? Thanks, Sarah xxx
