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!
Great blog!! I wanna say thanks to cathy for writing the brill books!thanks to my mum for buying em and thanks to the library for letting me borrow em!! And I’d also like to thank everyoneee who has ever helped me with anything (e.g my music teacher who helped me in my first music exam by finding another clarinet for me to play when mine broke 5 MINUTES before the exam!!!) Thank you all!! xo
I read your blog, Cathy, and thought that this would be a good time to say thanks to everyone.
Cathy- Thank you soooooo much for helping me when i had writing problems and thank you SOOOO much for putting my poem ‘Love Struck’ on your website. You don’t know how much that means to me!!!! I also wanna thank my friends and my parents who have tought me so much and inspire me everyday.
I wanna thank Sheldon, even though times are tough and we aren’t together, remember that you are in my thoughts everyday.
Cooper- the new guy that inspired me to write the poem. If you were here I’d kiss you. And yes, I do love you.
Thanks to Cathy again for helping all of us and believing in all of us everyday. God bless you!
THANK YOU
hi cathy i love all yopur book i also think its great that you take time to reple to all our comments that we write so thatks for talkin to us and thanks for makin greayt books carry on writing
?Yes I agree. Definetely! Saying thank you can mean a lot even when it’s just two words. I would like to thank my best friends, Carys and Bethan, who said I was very good at writing stories. They are the ones who truly believe I can do the thing I love doing. I’d also like to thank my family for saying that anything can be accomplished if you put your mind to it. And I’d like to thank my english teacher, for helping me out in writing the stories. And I’d like to thank the authors from which I read their books for giving me inspiration and tips. I’d love it if my books appear in the shops. Thanks to everyone that helped me.
I’d like to say a big thankyou to Cathy Cassidy for all her wonderful books, but alos to JK Rowling, Roald Dahl, Ian McEwan, Kate Morton and all my other favourite authors, because if it weren’t for all of you I’d be bored stiff. I’m the biggest bookworm ever and I’m always reading. So thanks to all you authors out there who have written something, because where would the world be without stories?
I want to say a thank you to you too.
Thank you for all your books and for writing an e-mail to everyone personally. My first book of yours was INDIGO BLUE and I loved it. Keep writing!
Best best wishes from Milena.xx
Hi Cathy your right about not saying thank you a lot! I am saying thank you for your books! I know when i am older i am going to be just like you!
Love Jessica Grace xx
I have read almost all of your books, and they are just THE BEST. You can relate to the characters because you are around the same age. I recently got runner up in one of your writing comps and the prizes were fab! Thankyou!!!
P.S. Pleaaassse write some sequels!
thank you its every thing cramed in two words. i wanted to say thank you cathy for helping me stand up for myself and be brave and now .. i think im on the path to where im meant to be where i can express who i really am, i never ask like the person i am at home in front of my best friend and when ever i do shes always making fun of me but not in a funny way in a bad way.
i just want to give you one last thank you. thanks cathy x
