Good luck with your revisions.<BR/><BR/>LynneLynne Griffin and Amy MacKinnonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11107479565926998943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37180398.post-45248881792590213232007-06-14T08:12:00.000-04:002007-06-14T08:12:00.000-04:00Lynne, how funny that so many of us are struggling...Lynne, how funny that so many of us are struggling with revising this week (I blogged about it and so did Therese Fowler)--kind of like college roommates who all get their periods at the same time, huh?<BR/><BR/>You nailed it when you said how closely truth and revision are intertwined--there's the rub . . . and the wonder of it. Thank goodness for those we can count on for their honesty--whether it be writers groups or husbands.Judy Merrill Larsenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06675069484490433295noreply@blogger.com
