I had a very interesting conversation with my mom last night. She’s, of course, my biggest fan. She was talking about the Nora Roberts series she was currently reading. This is kind of how the conversation went.
Mom: “I’m reading this Nora Roberts series, and it’s really good.”
Me: “I don’t really like her books that well. Not my thing. But she’s a good writer.”
Mom: “Yes, she is. But she’s no better than you.”
Me: “What?” Much laughter from me.
Mom: “Your books are just as good. They’re just different from hers.”
Me: “But she’s a much better writer than I am.”
Mom: “What makes her a better writer?”
Me: “She just is.”
Mom: “She’s not better than you. I like your books just as much as hers.”
Big grin from me. My mother loves me.

I think I’d fall over in shock if I had such a conversation with my mother. That’s awesome.
The first time my mom read one of my books, she said she couldn’t believe that it was written by her daughter. She is so supportive. I have to rein her in sometimes because she wants to tell everyone, but I keep telling her I have a pen name for a reason. LOL
Yes your mother does, and it’s why we love her so much as well. Every mother should be as supportive.
She’s the greatest.
Your mom is such a sweetie! I just love her. It’s great to have the support of your family.
She is a sweetie. It does mean a lot when your family and friends support you.,
