Some very interesting points.<BR/><BR/>What I took away from the comments is that I really do have permission to talk about so much more than my books, BelleBooks, writing, etc. And a good blog day doesn't have to be an essay. Short can be good too.<BR/><BR/>Really kind of freeing. :)Debra Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03992776098849029414noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27662400.post-1159412022402169082006-09-27T21:53:00.000-05:002006-09-27T21:53:00.000-05:00Robin--I really like you.

(Will they never learn to fly???)<BR/><BR/>Speaking of weather, I white-knuckled it through a downpour on the way to my class. It rolled in suddenly and dumped sheets across the windshield. Those little whappers had no chance--could hardly see the road! <BR/><BR/>If the bar's still open I'll have one o' them apple wedges.<BR/><BR/>Good work on the pare-down, Helen. I had to take a major element out of a historical once (HH). Turned it into two totally sepatate books. Waste not, want not.<BR/><BR/>Betina, you were born to write contemporary women's fiction. I just read Barbara Samuel's RITA winner--Lady Luck's Map To Vegas--good stuff! It's heavy, but interesting characters. First person present tense, which I don't often go for, but it was definitely the way to go with this one. <BR/><BR/>Who's watching "Project Runway" tonight?
