I think the point is, regarding the "platform" word...in staying true to ourselves as artists, writers, chefs, whatever we may do...we are building our own unique platform. What i believe is this: Stay true to yourselves above all else- the rest will work itself out.Hollye Dexterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10184998678584429429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-488757155668840939.post-9102525663819536842011-07-13T01:20:29.676-07:002011-07-13T01:20:29.676-07:00Found this post on the SW memoirs group.

However, your post gives me hope to keep blogging and keep working on the memoir even if I can't clearly define said required "platform." Now if I can just find writing groups/partners as helpful as yours.

Then I jumped on my bed. I hardly noticed it at the time, but I bumped the corner of the bedpost when I jumped up. I had a bruise on my thigh for two weeks--a little reminder of my joyful moment. Can't wait to read your book.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-488757155668840939.post-1962523314127721332011-07-02T09:37:02.565-07:002011-07-02T09:37:02.565-07:00So happy for you!!!
