Besides, you'll have good things to say about my characters, pacing, and flow.

I'm just now catching up on email......Melissa!<br /><br />I'm just now catching up on email...HOORAY for YOU! You did it! What an fantastic accomplishment!! (Do you KNOW how many people start and never finish?)<br /><br />I used to sort of quietly envy my friends who compete in and complete (literal) marathons or triathlons. Now I realize that's what we writers do--only with words.<br /><br />SO thrilled for you! (As I told you, I've never been a big fantasy reader, but I'm glad to help out if you need me to.)Lenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15589772633443401897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4480547809031696136.post-57218684709116446112015-07-16T10:59:58.503-05:002015-07-16T10:59:58.503-05:00Thank you, Cora!

It's hard, but it works.

But I definitely identify with all of the emotional highs and lows you experienced on your writing journey. Enjoy your vacation...you've earned it:-)cindihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13087702906942968985noreply@blogger.com
