Happy Friday everyone! Are you ready for another tale of helping hands? I have a wonderfully cheerful one from the writing community today. The awesome (and hilarious!) Mark Koopmans (you are following his blog, right?) has given us the awesome Morgan Shamy as someone who's been a real helping hand, indeed, a Sary for not only him, but many of us as well! Take it away, Mark:

My Sary in disguise is Morgan Shamy, a fellow blogger and friend.

Morg is a busy wife, writer and mother to four young kids, yet in the two years I’ve known her, she’s done nothing but pay it forward to me and dozens, if not hundreds, of other bloggers.

Though she is busy getting her first novel in front of various industry folks, Morgan has kept my writing goals alive by volunteering to be my writing “sponsor.” (We are busy with separate projects, but working together to complete a first draft by the end of the year. Each Sunday, we send one another “accountability updates.” Morg’s are always filled with positive words, suggestions and tips that worked for her in the past week, and these are what keep me motivated throughout the following week.)

Plus, and I don’t know how she does it, but she is *always* ready, willing and able to share a positive word via a comment, a Tweet or even a RT (and I’m not on FB, but I’m sure Morgan does the same on Facebook).

The woman is so encouraging and optimistic with her words, thoughts and actions that I am about to suggest she bottle and sell all that positivity – the world would be definitely be a better, dare I say, a Morganastic place to live :)

Anyway, Morgan gets my vote for a Sary in the Real World shout out.

Thanks so much Mark, and Morgan has definitely been an awesome inspiration for many of us! Don't forget, if you have a story you'd like to share, I'm always looking for people to host!!
