Not only will it be good visibility -- and who knows where it could lead to -- it will also be a darned good exercise in self-editing. :) Which is not to mean you need that here on the blog; here, you can blurt as long as you want. But it will force discipline, which is good for any writer. Go for it!lattégirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15428087458207367848noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-31068606255918953022007-08-09T08:43:00.000-04:002007-08-09T08:43:00.000-04:00Yes, you can do it!

That's plenty of time to come up with something and edit it! <BR/><BR/>Will be in the area this weekend for my family reunion. Will try to stop by Friday or Saturday.

I usually copy everything before I post it now because this has happened before but I didn't this time. <BR/><BR/>Anyway the gist of it was:<BR/><BR/> Yes go for it, you have the creative ability to observe small things and recreate them for your readers. You'll have to practice your precis skills though.<BR/><BR/>I find English authors generally to be more succinct than North American ones. I don't know if you read any. Hone up on the old dictionary skills, you'll have to find one word for two. Ha Ha, that should keep you busy!<BR/><BR/>This could lead to more Jeni, God bless you in it. I have no doubt you can it.Bernihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02393286338757929488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34398479.post-69148654523873435182007-08-08T21:16:00.000-04:002007-08-08T21:16:00.000-04:00This is bloody great news!
