I'm sure your editor adores you as much as you adore her.<BR/><BR/>Mardougrrrl, get that book written and sold! If only it were that easy. Good luck and let us know the places your journey takes you. We love updates.<BR/><BR/>Hi, Reality! I think maybe the ONLY point that was lost on you was that sometimes we writers -- and I'm sure this applies to none of you reading this -- are emotionally attached to our writing and when it's criticized, it's as if our beloved child were attacked. We're not like that, not at all. We're all dream authors.<BR/><BR/>AmyLynne Griffin and Amy MacKinnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107479565926998943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37180398.post-30080945376273265662007-09-26T01:27:00.000-04:002007-09-26T01:27:00.000-04:00Thanks for the TPA list.
