I also like your first draft, second draft, etc. A handy thing to keep in mind. And absolutely, only writing begets better writing. <BR/><BR/>Happy, happy!Lakinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17352161227918492499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21496172.post-25061885618782674792008-12-27T09:40:00.000-08:002008-12-27T09:40:00.000-08:00Thank you for your kind words.

I also like what you've said here about process... that there are many methods of approaching a story and we can use all of them. No need to get locked into one way.
