Last week, after I ordered "One Woman Farm" from Battenkill Books, I did something I've never done before: I emailed the author.
This may not sound like a big deal, but it was for it's SO NOT something I do. And I told her this. I told her that I don't usually even comment on other blogs. I'm just a reader. But I really felt compelled to tell her how much I enjoy her books (and her blog). Everybody likes a bit of praise from time to time... While my email wasn't anything magnificent, or delightfully clever, it was short, simple, and intended to show that I appreciate all of her efforts to keep her farm running and the books coming. Finally, I wished her and Gibson and The Street Gang (aka her crazy sheep) much success.
And that was that.
And I felt great.
And I had a new book on the way!
So I was really shocked to receive an email response from her--in just a few hours time! Like mine, it was simple, direct, and thankful. She probably writes a million of these. But this one sure made me feel great.
