No, I won't bore you with the whole tale here, but let me just say mumbling can be dangerous.<br /><br />I also wanted to let you know I'm talking about you/your novel on the Farland Writer's Group. Fair warning. :)Mark Andrew Edwardshttp://www.markandrewedwards.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6264319397911620864.post-29116372107752824472010-10-11T16:09:19.980-06:002010-10-11T16:09:19.980-06:00You and I have a lot in common. My first husband ...You and I have a lot in common. My first husband never seemed to ask me if, he only asked me when I would marry him. I believe the answer was when hell freezes over for quite a few months, then he wore me down and I agreed to a March wedding. It's never giving up that wins the race, hence the turtle and the hare. I know that you'll have success, most people are afraid to try, but determination is the key, just ask me. I don't let anyone tell me that I can't.
