Hi Vanessa,
I just came in from Mark’s Daily Apple. I usually figure that by the time I’ve heard about something it’s only a little while before that thing (or person) ends up being pretty famous. My boyfriend always comments on how I have always already heard of everything whenever he thinks he has something new.

I have to say I was curious and impressed by your “teen author” tag line and reading through all the speaking engagements on your schedule. I think you’re pretty close to that fabled tipping point! Keep up with the guest blogging, that’s a great way to reach a lot of different people. Mostly just enjoy what you’re doing and where you are in the process because once you get there… (some cliche about not being able to go back…)

ahhh yes cold calls are tough, but every once in a while you get someone who is in a good mood…

I will be continuing with the videocasts, I will do one later today actually. Someone suggested I try to make them more like a ‘show’ but its in my bedroom..doesnt exactly present as ready-for-tv = )

My main goal is to try to relax a little on them, i get really nervous and don’t move my hands. I tend to be much more animated (and talk ridiculously fast) in real life

Thanks!

keep doing the video posts. These could start taking a life of their own and would be a nice place to direct the media to look and see that the risk would be low.

don’t stop the cold calls, the next one could be the one!
