And I think it's great you've assessed your writing in real terms and decided to put it on hold. Often, we try to do too much, and come unstuck (I so know this myself). <br /><br />Have a great week. I so have to sign up (if it's still open) for the top ten. I've been slacking on the blogging lately... sometimes other things get in the way - like a crisis or two. <br /><br />shahwharton.com <br /><br />XShah Whartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04997125261145672115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-33536467548475160382013-02-07T06:28:40.812-05:002013-02-07T06:28:40.812-05:00Shell, that would rock!
