You are my avatar - when you decide I need to weigh in on something, feel free to hold forth! GWA will be a BLAST, I can feel it - and I hate to be out of the loop of fun! So you MUST keep me in there - pretty please! I have found the online gardening community incredibly supportive, it is why I enjoy it so much. I have to admit to a little garden club I was a part of that became a bit intense due to some overly competitive members who took no prisoners. It is rare, I think, to find the kind of community we have here in our corner of the WWW (yes, I HAD to bring that up again!) - people who are genuinely interested in furthering the interests of gardening and the gardening world. LOVE THAT! And you are one of the reasons I do! XOXOXO!!! Susan! You are my avatar – when you decide I need to weigh in on something, feel free to hold forth!

Particularly as this means no one will look at me oddly when I order my drinks two at a time. Very good suggestions, and I like the emphasis on sharing and teamwork. I have found garden designers to be a very supportive and noncompetitive group and so far the same has been true of garden writers.

I will keep you posted and hand you a copy myself, old friend! Sweet One, I am already imagining all of the fun that is going to be happening without me. Snis snif. I insist that you have an empty chair wherever you go, and that you all pretend that I am there. Susan M. will do a good job of predicting exactly what I would say in any given situation... Have the BEST TIME, and give them SWEET! Yay Nicole! I am SO glad to hear that! One sale down ... you have made my day! Hi Mary Ann! So nice to hear from you! Yes, you know VERY WELL what it is like - WHOOSH! It was SO HARD for me to consider it finished! They had to rip it out of my claws ... I hope you are recovering well! We deserve a bit of fun now, right? GOOD WORK right back at you! Hi Frederique - you know, that is a VERY good question! I don't know if "proofreading" is a real job, but it should be! And I think being a free lance proofreader would be an excellent part time job ... hmmm - maybe that is something that really can happen! I'll keep your link of course, and maybe GWT will put together a list of good, reliable proofreaders. And damn - you seem VERY qualified! COOL! Thanks for your sweet comment! Loree you DOLL! There were times when I felt I was barely capable of scrambling an egg, but that was just a moment in time... it passed. Funny you mention the Mexico project - I'm going there at the end of the month and will have LOTS to report and LOTS of pics - it is looking FAB!!! XOXO! Oh Debra - you don't know HOW many times I've thought of you, especially in this last month, and thought "HOW does she DO it?" And you make it seem effortless. AND you do the INDEX! Wow ... you were already my inspiration, but the reality of what you do makes you so much MORE! I am crossing my fingers that the rest of the process just makes my baby book better. Thank you SO much for your support through this process! YOU are the true ROCKER! XOXO!!! PAM!!! Are you staying dry? Torrents of rain, I hear ... And yes, the vegetables had to happen! Thank goodness my succulents are so undemanding - they very gracefully took the back seat. But NOW, I can see little buds starting to swell on my aloes! Here comes Aloe bloom time!!! (I do sleep, but with one eye open...) Thank you for stopping by, DOll!!! XO! Thank you so much Helen! I am still superstitious -"What if it is terrible?" goes through my mind, and I have to beat that thought back with a broom. But all in all, I am excited to see it! Yikes (shiver of glee!) Susan my dear! Any self discipline was purchased online - I have very little of my own! Time was at a premium, and talent was a strange liquid thing that ebbed and flowed and eluded me when I tried to grab at it. I thank you so much for your awe - but truly, I am so undeserving. If it weren't for the wonderful editors I worked with at Timber, Juree Skonder and Mollie Firestone, I would have crumpled! Swear! XOXO!!! Hey Erik! I will keep you posted and hand you a copy myself, old friend!

Congratulations, Germi. I knew you could do it. And not only that, you've been rocking out the vegetable gardening too. Yes, I see all your tweets about it. You must never sleep. Yippee!

Go out and get yourself a cabana boy, you deserve it. Btw, nice job of thinking metaphorically with the cyclone image...although it does sort of imply that you're cackling and rubbing your hands together. Well, as you should, my pretty. Seriously, I can't wait for the birth of your bouncing baby book. You rock, Sweetie! Round of applause, dear Germi! Go out and get yourself a cabana boy, you deserve it.

Can one earn money as a proofreader? I have excellent English skills, and have been gardening all my life.
