Hahahaha I love the list, Jenna!

I have another one for you:

When their needles start falling off, they don’t get upset and demand Rogaine. You just know it’s time to take it down and get rid of it.

(BTW, I’m not advocating you get rid of DH once his hair goes. Grin. I’m just saying the trees don’t worry about it. Grin)

Just wanted to drop you a line to say, I enjoy reading your site. I thought about starting a blog myself but don’t have the time.
Oh well maybe one day….

Darn! I missed it, Debbie. I’m at least three days late. (sigh) I hope it went well.

The writing critique group I’ve been part of was many years ago via Critters.org. There were some who knew how to critique, and others who didn’t and tried to get you to write in their style.

Six years ago, I was a member of a musical theater workshop (for writing musicals, not performing in them). This was more like the type of critique group you are talking about above. Although only with them for a year (having a child made night attendance impossible), I still have friends from that workshop. I learned a lot in that workshop.

Now, I have a few friends who will read through my work and give me honest opinions. I wish we lived in the same state (and one in the same country!)

Great post, Jane.

LOL I have a lot of figments. Not sure how many are connected to my imagination.

Just happened to, huh, Debbie? This is a wonderful story. You do a fabulous job getting inside your characters.

When I write, which is rare, I find I must think as the character to be able to do it successfully. The moment any author voice enters the scene, my writing comes to a screeching halt.

This is great, Steve! A very different take on an old nursery rhyme. I wonder how innocent these rhymes really were… Hm…
