Message from the Editor



Here we are again - Emily Grace and me - signing Echoes of Edisto at the Edisto Bookstore on Edisto Island. Good turnout, fun times, with me again wishing I lived down there. A book signing can be exhausting . . . and a book release definitely is . . . but that's what we live for, isn't it? 

Sent out 30 review copies of Echoes of Edisto two weeks ahead of release date, so that we could have reviews available on Amazon the first week of the book, and 27 of those individuals stepped up and met the deadline. That's just an awesome percentage. 

I'm still meeting the guest blog post requests for people, having done 18 thus far with a half dozen to go. And note....I'm always open for a guest post for your blog. Just ask.

Enjoy your week, keep writing, and you know where to find me.

Editor’s THOUGHTS



WHY AWE MATTERS MORE THAN QUANTITY

DailyGood.org is a favorite site of mine. It takes life, slows it down, and teaches me how to give it more substance and deep down quality. It makes me ponder my existence. We all need that periodically. Maybe we need it more often than that.

This post stopped me longer than most, "Why We Need To Cultivate Awe In The Workplace." http://www.dailygood.org/story/1342/why-we-need-to-cultivate-awe-in-the-workplace-homaira-kabir/

Humans crave to be part of something larger than self . . . and once we think about it, we actually call it awe. We teach it to our children, or in many cases, we remember it by watching our children as they feel the excitement of experiencing life larger than themselves. 

Awe is akin to soul. I believe that when we sense something bigger than ourselves, when awe stops us in our tracks, we are tapping into our soul. We allow that door to open a tad, letting out emotion we are often afraid to embrace. As adults we tend to guard ourselves, fearful of letting down the wall.

As stated in this piece, when we sense awe, "We see our fragility and vulnerability, which gives us a profound sense of humility." We don't like feeling fragile or vulnerable, and all too often, we let that fear inhibit us in how we write, how we publish, and how we market ourselves. 

Yet, we are "in awe" of those authors who dare to write a daring tale, expose their inner thoughts, and throw themselves before the public's eye. And the author who writes the memorable story is revered more than the author who wrote 15 stories and made money, though we cannot recall the characters. 

We should strive to be in awe of our work, and awe-struck by others. Instead of production, maybe we ought to focus on our power to seek and create awe. After all, wouldn't you rather be remembered for the one, lone book than the fact you published a lot of forgettable stories? Or maybe you can find a place in the middle, but to do so, you need to slow down and think about the quality you produce . . . and let the quantity sit on the back burner for the time being. It's about the awe-some moment you give a reader . . . and yourself.

ECHOES OF EDISTO
# 3 - THE EDISTO ISLAND MYSTERY SERIES

http://www.chopeclark.com/

Edisto Island is a paradise where people escape from the mainstream world. Yet for newly sworn-in Edisto Police Chief Callie Jean Morgan, the trouble has just begun . . . 

When a rookie officer drowns in a freak crash in the marsh, Callie’s instincts tell her it wasn’t an accident. As suspects and clues mount, Callie’s outlandish mother complicates the investigation, and Callie’s long-time friendship with Officer Mike Seabrook takes a turn toward something new—but is shadowed by the unsolved mystery of his wife’s death. Everyone’s past rises to the surface, entangling with death that cuts to the bone.
 
"Author C. Hope Clark brings to life the uniqueness that is Edisto, peppering the island with endearing and strong-minded characters that linger in your mind long after the last page is turned." --Karen White, New York Times Bestselling Author, www.karen-white.com

"To date, I believe Echoes of Edisto is C. Hope Clark's best book. I have been wrapped up in her previous books but she hits a personal note in this one that grabbed my heart in a rare way, especially for a mystery book."

Success Story

Dear Hope,

I hope you are doing well. Thanks so much for all the work you put into FundsforWriters. I wanted to let you know about my success story. In July 2015, you listed in your grants section the North Carolina Regional Artist Project Grant (RAPG). Last autumn I applied for a RAPG through the Arts and Science Council (my local arts council) with the intention of using the funds to attend the Wildacres Writing Workshop and Retreat in July 2016. Last December, I learned the Arts and Science Council selected me as one of the grant recipients. 

At the beginning of July, thanks to the Arts and Science Council and thanks to the listing in FundsforWriters, I had the opportunity to spend two productive weeks at the Wildacres Writing Workshop and Retreat. I'm currently at work on a collection of essays, and I'm still in awe of the progress I made on this project during my time away. In addition, I wrote a short essay while at the retreat that aired late last month as a radio commentary on my local NPR station (http://wfae.org/post/my-husband-driving-down-mountain). 

Thank you so much for FundsforWriters. Your work is helpful!

All the best,

Patrice Gopo

Knowin’ When to Hold ‘em

By Kathryn J. Martin

Now I’ll be the first to admit I don’t know a thing about poker. If Kenny Rogers hadn’t sung “The Gambler”, I wouldn’t even know about holdin’ and foldin’. But one thing I do know, there’s a time to submit my works and there’s a time to “hold” ‘em. And I know that because I came close to lettin’ go at the wrong time. 

Twenty and excited about entering a radio station’s poetry contest, I rushed through the rules, eager to start writing. All night I lost myself in the narrator, an elderly lady on her porch reliving memories. I chuckled watching the children grow from playing to courting on the porch, I cried seeing the now-empty porch, and rejoiced picturing future reunions on the porch.

The next morning, ready to mail my entry, I read the rules again and froze. I’d overlooked “Whether or not your poem wins, it will become the property of the radio station.” 

Whoa! With little chance of winning, I could never submit my poem anywhere else or use it myself? Disappointed, I slipped it in a drawer where it stayed for 15 years until I resigned as college professor to enter full time the field of writing and speaking.

For my first tour, I retyped the poem on a more modern typewriter and had 100 copies made on plain white paper. The first evening, in costume as story teller, I quoted a bit of the poem and following as myself, mentioned it would be available afterward.

I’d laid out 25 copies with a sign, “Poems: Donation of any size” and while greeting folks heard a yell, “Go get more poems!” Already all 25 had sold!

I hurriedly brought in 25 more only to hear in another few minutes, “Go get the rest of the poems!” Except for two to use for copying along the way, all had sold. It was the same each place on the two-week tour.

Back home I chose a ream of quality buff-colored faux parchment paper and learned if I’d wait a few days until the store used dark brown ink, the printing could be done commercially for less money. From then on, whether driving or being flown I’ve taken the poems, although by request I changed the sign to “Donation of Any Size: Suggested minimum $1”.  People give from $1 to $5 or more, often framing the poem or using it as a gift.

Folks want to take something home from an event but not everyone can buy our books or DVD’s. Smaller printed or craft items make buying possible for those who can’t and lagniappe for those who can. (Lagniappe [lan’ yap], an oft-used term here in Southeastern Louisiana meaning “a little something extra”.)

If I’d entered that early contest and won, I’d have received eight copies of a cheap magazine with few readers. BUT, by holdin’, that simple poem has touched thousands of lives over years of speaking across the United States and Canada, providing extra income each place.

Glad I decided “No” to “sold” and “Yes” to “hold”!

BIO-
Author of one book, many magazine articles and years of weekly columns in regional newspapers, Kathryn thought of herself only as speaker - humorist as Miz Maudie and "inspirationalist" as herself - until realizing she was the only one in her writers group earning a living. Encouraged by professionals such as "Minnie Pearl", early on she resigned as college professor to go full-time into speaking and writing but has loved writing since the age of two when she scribbled on the family history page of her mother's Bible then caught the writing bug when first published at 15. Her two books are Believe It or Not-Mama Likes the Nursing Home and Long Way from Lonely. http://www.mizmaudie.com
