I'm glad it isn't only me that struggles.<br />I included the little Bane in my post!<br /><br />Olivia :)<br />You sound so excited about the power of the notes. I bet the view was as breathtaking. Sometimes their is raw power to be tapped into: the right setting can be inspiring. <br />I'm surrounded by pictures. The eyes of one wolf has been watching me for a while now. My external conscience.<br /><br />MC - Thanks for the comment. Tightening sentences adds to the drama and to the air of professionalism. <br /><br />Hi Belle<br />You are wordy too? Welcome to the home of wordy! You should feel right at home. ;)<br />Good luck with the trimming and the editing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15459671422564355990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-37853713299109472662010-08-04T23:35:05.898+01:002010-08-04T23:35:05.898+01:00Good things to remember. :)Good things to remember. :)Jennifer Shirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16970585847385511795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7673700697394236559.post-40602325186615273282010-08-04T20:50:34.965+01:002010-08-04T20:50:34.965+01:00Great list!
