The young people whose posts of read demonstated some wonderful insight and blogging is certainly a superior activity to video games, chatting, or facebooking.<br /><br />Several years ago I started a correspondence writing course with Longridge Writer's Group, but then I stopped. Recently they started offering to reinstate me for a small fee. I've considered it because I did like writing and having my work critiqued on a regular basis. I probably good use something like that.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-87766352682653843192010-04-04T15:06:18.441+10:002010-04-04T15:06:18.441+10:00I love that random cat picture.

I had a lot of these not long ago when I was editing my novel. It's quite amazing how much we write that has absolutely no logical need to be included, hey?<br /><br />But I guess we do have to write these parts in the first place to get to the other parts that are SO important - even if it means they eventually get deleted.Jessica Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10889900730906728317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2774506789160968096.post-20272366213102549962010-04-03T00:20:42.421+10:002010-04-03T00:20:42.421+10:00I like the part of having to write your sentences ...I like the part of having to write your sentences from memory.
