Good luck with your WiP.<br /><br />This week, I'm still working on my novel but I'm also working on a new social networking site that my husband has developed. He does the 'works' and I arrange the testing and social media side. Hard work but good fun too.<br /><br />I'm also preparing for our famiy holiday next week.

I almost never feel as engaged reading a story in present tense - it feels contrived to me, like the writer is trying to be too clever. Occasionally, it works, but mostly, for me it doesn't.<br /><br />Tried a deep tissue massage yesterday and totally I feel like somebody beat me up around the neck and shoulders. Next time will go for something more relaxing and less painful.<br /><br />Beverly Diehlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00392288953821757887noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6086062096420008519.post-77395352546875918932013-04-08T11:07:50.704-04:002013-04-08T11:07:50.704-04:00You're welcome, Michelle!You're welcome, Michelle!Kelly Hashwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13936313159809041986noreply@blogger.com
