And it does take guts to pick up a manuscript someone has trashed - my third book was brutally dissed (about 18 months ago) and even though i could see the truth in some of the comments, my peachy skin hasn't been able to face touching it since - so really well done you. Hopefully you'll have the last laugh.Administratorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13894920115299109640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155313218057815442.post-86435031333195273492009-06-04T04:42:08.623-07:002009-06-04T04:42:08.623-07:00LOL, oops from now on you may very well be referre...LOL, oops from now on you may very well be referred to as Emu-ly!Fionnualahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12275984316414726884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6155313218057815442.post-18825704352482125072009-06-04T03:25:17.419-07:002009-06-04T03:25:17.419-07:00Thanks, Fi.
