She accepted my quiet entrance, grabbed the front of my shirt and demanded, "YOU WILL WRITE ABOUT ME." She became a much bigger part of the rest of the story, able to share a lot of her background and in-story accomplishments with the reader. In the end, I think she was happy with my handling of her, and that her story also got told. I certainly wouldn't want to make her angry.Bretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07933636975540859755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021826296342479548.post-77658420735936274452011-03-22T23:12:06.803-04:002011-03-22T23:12:06.803-04:00These are great points!

If you close your eyes and try to decipher what the sounds are and where they are coming from, you get a better feel of your surroundings. At times a smell will bring back fond memories of places I've been to, people I've known, and things I've seen. Thank you for the reminder.Orlandohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10103458688711351378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7021826296342479548.post-2189200915799732282011-03-22T11:17:08.353-04:002011-03-22T11:17:08.353-04:00Thanks for the Pomodoro recommendation.
