Good luck with that :)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05344704891037668456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387750898893415159.post-84293944008387066472015-03-11T19:40:13.507-07:002015-03-11T19:40:13.507-07:00I used to put too many details into my early draft...I used to put too many details into my early drafts and often got bogged down in them.

There have been several times I asked you for directions instead of someone else, not because you knew the road names better, but because you knew every single detail for every turn I would need to make. So while you may not remember every character's name, I think there are probably other details you would remember instead.<br /><br />And I love the sheep in the palace!Jenilyn Collingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13166139358513659892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387750898893415159.post-82796396893881918602015-03-10T10:16:00.355-07:002015-03-10T10:16:00.355-07:00It's all in the details, or so they say!
