I also love the way you wrote the post: "Skinny-dipping in shark infested waters"? "So in the moment you can smell the sweat under an ogre's hairy armpit"? I bet your books are super fun to read!Dawn Simonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05667675689038435581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035303649437804445.post-21808540199548436152010-05-10T22:54:15.505-05:002010-05-10T22:54:15.505-05:00Isn't it funny how we don't want strangers...Isn't it funny how we don't want strangers to read our books, but we hope to be best sellers.

I'd recommned them though. If nothing else they keep you writing and it's fun to hang out with other writers. You can always learn something.<br /><br />Good advice, again and wonderful cakes!Terry Stonecrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726985400500572770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5035303649437804445.post-3943416442201221612010-05-10T12:43:06.918-05:002010-05-10T12:43:06.918-05:00Oh gosh those cakes are too cute!

And, yet, I was TERRIFIED for so many reasons. Blogs helped, a lot, and I'm so glad I finally got off my butt and sucked it up because it really is priceless.<br /><br />BTW - You're the queen of descriptions!Lisa Aldinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05423334732254639943noreply@blogger.com
