As I read your post, though, I couldn't help but picture some little old lady on the bus, rooting through her purse for a newspaper clipping... and it just seemed too cute to be annoying. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3347224557345852583.post-22679609831661789932007-06-27T07:32:00.000-05:002007-06-27T07:32:00.000-05:00Everyone needs a champion, whether their attention...Everyone needs a champion, whether their attention is misdirected or not.

Usually it's a book (I write non-fiction and blogs) and usually they assume the idea is good. 97% of the time it's not. <BR/><BR/>It's hard to write and get people to 'get' it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3347224557345852583.post-7702149845920148532007-06-26T07:19:00.000-05:002007-06-26T07:19:00.000-05:00You said "She knows I WANT to write."
