Excited, Want to Share the News
I'm really excited and want to share the news with friends that I know will appreciate how it feels.
I am a big music lover, and there is a song that has "haunted" me for years. It's a song I used to hear on a local radio station that prided itself on playing off-the-wall songs that most people haven't heard before. This song was one they played often, but I never caught who it was by or what the name was.
The station is gone and I haven't heard the song in years and have tried a few times to find it online. When you don't know the name of the song, the artist, and only a few bits of the lyrics, it's not easy. The other night, I decided to try again and be a bit more persistent.
I found it.
The guy that sings it has a nice website. I began snooping around his website and found him to be a very intriguing character. Not only is he a Texas singer/songwriter, he's also the author of quite a few books.
I sat down last night and wrote him a short email basically telling him what I just told you and that I'd love to write an article about him to post on HubPages. I gave him a link to my profile and invited him to read some of my hubs. I asked him if he would mind answering a few questions and give me permission to post a few photos.
Early this morning, I had a response. He said he liked my writing style and would love to answer any questions I had for the article. He gave me a link to his g/f's website where she has 5 years worth of photos.
OMG...I am soooooo excited! I'm so flattered to get a response and this opportunity to write about someone I have spent years trying to find.
I don't want to give any details of who it is, but in the not too distant future, you'll see a new hub about it.
Way to go KCC!
You go get him!
Congratulations! Nice accomplishment!Thank you, Cagsil! Now to get the best use of my questions.
10 questions - two personal, two past related, two present related, two future related and two off-the-wall.
very exciting! we will be looking forward to your hub! that's awesome that you wrote him. if he's well known, you'll get views from all over looking for him. I have a couple of hubs on musicians that get a lot of outside views. it's so interesting to see what people search to find them.
exciting for you!Party time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
YAY!!!!! *special moment* SWEET!! Hey Raisingme, what's up? How are you today?
Good on you Karen
Isn't the power of writing amazing?
And now you've got celebs lining up to have you interview themWell, you deserve to be in the SPOTLIGHT and more people should be aware of that fact.
Therefore, if I can help, I do.
So glad for you KCC - and understand you so good!
My personal mystery of this kind is still unsolved...Thats really great KCC. I can already see you getting very famous when this hub is published.
The traffic/PV's will be awesome! Do we have to wait for long?Congrats on that, can't wait to read it.

Okay, maybe that wasn't as funny as I originally thought. Considering, no sound can come from the forum? I am So hAppy for You! I know the feeling...
Way to go, very cool. Many congrats.
WOOHOO!!!! I just came back to pay tribute.
And *bump* the thread, yet again.
I know, I do not have to....but, this is just so cool of an event that more people should be amazed.COOL!
That they refuse.
I would have thought that was obvious. It is the fear behind hearing rejection that limits some from bothering to put the effort forward. This is unfortunate. But, I'm glad you shared this as well. Thank you. Agreed!
The gentleman has replied with the answers to all of my questions! He is soooooooo nice. Now my work begins! I will be putting together my hub. This is so much fun. He's such a good sport in helping me with this. I am so appreciative. I hope I do him proud.
Great news KCC!
Are you going to have the lyrics for display too? I'm just curious.
Either way, I am sure you'll do an excellent job. I believe in you and your ability, because I've read your work. So, my faith isn't misplaced. Good writer, for a great story!I didn't ask him for the lyrics, but I'll give a synopsis of the song.
I'm nervous, but I think that's a healthy thing. If I wasn't, I wouldn't be taking it seriously enough. This is a big deal for me. I just want to do a good job on it. It would have been easier if he was only a singer/songwriter, but since he also has 15 novels under his belt, I feel a bit more pressure.Well, believe it or not, you shouldn't feel any pressure at all. The reason being is that apparently HE has visited your hubs, reviewed them and granted you permission. He is already confident and what you are doing to yourself is self applied. The obstacle you face is put in front of you, because of your lack of faith in your ability, to live up to other people expectations. However, as I just pointed out....it can be conquered through your faith. My faith says you'll do wonderful. If that matters...
Sorry about the so detailed post. I was just trying to present it differently.In other words or simply said- Do your best, be honest about your effort and you'll present a master-piece he will enjoy, as will, the rest of who are waiting to read it. So, that's about it.
I just sent my draft copy of the hub to him to look at.
Here is the long await hub by KCC Big Country, read to your heart's content.
