Thanks for being there! In the cutthroat world of publishing and marketing it can sometimes be easy to lose sight of why I’m doing this. But whenever someone tells me they loved one of my books or that they were encouraged by a blog post–that makes my day. That’s what it’s all about. Being able to touch the life of someone else, even if for only a moment, means I’ve accomplished something worthwhile.
What one thing would you like to say to your fellow writers or aspiring writers?

Thanks so much, Katie, for stopping by my blog on your tour. It was fun!
~~Melinda Y.~~ says
Great Job on the questions Sandra. Very inspiring read for all who continue to pursue goals/dreams.
Loved the video. It helps to think backwards sometimes about what our legacy will be.
Bless You:)
Linda Yezak says
Sandy, what a clever interview! I'm like you–I want to be like Katie when I grow up too. She is a remarkable young lady!
Sandra Heska King says
I loved that song, too! I'm not sure I ever heard it. And yes, Katie's advice should encourage anyone climbing any mountain!
Bless you, too.
Sandra Heska King says
Thanks, Linda. It was fun! She is a remarkable gal. I hope I get to meet her in person some day.

"I want to be like her when I grow up."
Me too!! And not just as a writer, but also the strong woman of God I see her to be. She's amazing. 🙂
Jody Hedlund says
Great interview! I enjoyed getting to know more about Katie!
Phy says
I was amused at the writing garb. Sounds like mine; sweats, t-shirt, and house-clogs (which is like fuzzy blue slippers, for guys).
Kleigh says
Sandra,
I enjoyed the One Word, One Line interview. Great idea!

What a fun interview! 🙂 Thanks for sharing more of Katie with us, Sandra! 🙂 Kinda funny that all of us older women look up to and respect Katie when she's younger than us… (I think I'm only a few years older than her, though I'm not 100% sure on her age!) That's something you should be impressed about, Miss Katie!
Lynnette Bonner says
Loved the song, Katie. Totally agree. Cheesecake, definitely! And I also have to be warm when I write. 🙂
K.M. Weiland says
@Sandra: Thanks so much for having me today! I've been very blessed to get to know you!
@Melinda: I'm glad Sandra included the video. Don't you love that song?
@Linda: Shucks. :p
@Lorna: Double shucks.
@Kleigh: Thanks for stopping by! It was a brilliant idea of Sandra's, wasn't it? I had a lot of fun with it.
@Liberty: Don't go growing old before you time, young lady. 😉
K.M. Weiland says
Whoops. Missed Phy and Jody! Thanks for stopping by, both of you.

If I'm a wonder, it's because He *is* with me. 🙂 Thanks for commenting, John!
Sandra Heska King says
@Lorna and John: Totally awesome what He can do with someone who draws their strength from Him!
@Phy and Lynnette: My slippers are white, and I must have heat blowing on feet. I love cheesecake, but I totally bonded with Katie on the chocolate thing!
@Jody, Kleigh, and Lynn: This was so much fun to do!
@Liberty: I suspect I'm old enough to be Katie's mom–or maybe worse. But we are all just brothers and sisters in Christ, and our wisdom is counted in terms of years. So glad we can learn from each other no matter what age we are.
