People Who Help Along the Way
Hello my amazing supporters,
Today, I want to take a moment to express my deepest gratitude to the incredible people who have been behind the scenes of my writing journey. They are the unsung heroes of my stories, and without their support, encouragement, and guidance, I truly wouldn’t be where I am today.
First and foremost, a huge thank you to my beta readers. You are the brave souls who dive into my rough drafts, armed with red pens and open hearts. Your insights, critiques, and thoughtful suggestions make my stories shine brighter. Thank you for pointing out when my characters are being a little too stubborn, or when a plot twist needs just a touch more magic. You’ve been my guiding stars, helping me create the best possible experience for my readers.
To my weekly authors group, I don’t even know where to begin. You are my sounding board, my motivators, and my creative family. Week after week, you keep me grounded and focused. You’ve celebrated my victories, lifted me up in moments of doubt, and offered the kind of advice that only fellow writers truly understand. Thank you for holding me accountable while also reminding me to be kind to myself. Your camaraderie has made the often-solitary journey of writing a joy.
And, of course, my family—where would I be without you? Thank you for your patience and understanding, for tolerating my late-night brainstorming sessions and my “just five more minutes” at the keyboard (which often turn into hours). To my long-suffering, endlessly supportive husband: you are my rock, my sounding board, and sometimes even my co-writer. Your willingness to help me brainstorm plot twists and character arcs, even when you’re half-asleep, means the world to me. Thank you for always reminding me of the love story we’re writing together.
Every chapter I write is shaped by the love and support of the people around me. This journey is not one I’ve walked alone, and I’m so grateful to have you all by my side. Here’s to more stories, more brainstorming sessions, and more moments of inspiration—together.
With all my love and gratitude,
Melinda Kenyon
