LOL! You paid you dues girl and all of the writing prepared you for your fiction writing. <br /><br />I on the other hand had never written publicly before my blog and novel. I find myself still learning things that many novices learned years ago. Lately I've been writing for a local newspaper. My first free lance experience;) I'm a little nervous but mostly excited to be doing something new.<br /><br />I really enjoyed this post and I'm still smiling at the thought of you singing. I wanna do it with you!!Leah Griffithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10424758000036417506noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6828018556387318808.post-43060284329742379522013-04-01T16:33:03.085-05:002013-04-01T16:33:03.085-05:00You are absolutely correct, Beverly.

And I hate when I'm reading an otherwise good story and some little detail pops me out of it - something the author could have addressed, but didn't.<br /><br />If YOU, the author, don't care enough about your story, why should I, the reader?Beverly Diehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392288953821757887noreply@blogger.com
