You're right to remind us that it is the writing that counts. <br />I need that, particularly now that I'm once again working on a synopsis, the bane of fiction writers. <br />It's writing too, but so specialized and so hard (whine, whine!)Kathy McIntoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899118869240481737noreply@blogger.com
