I used to have a high energy time in the morning, too. It changed to late afternoon/early evening several years ago. Now, it feels like it's changing again and I'm writing in the afternoons.<br /> <br />Carla, thanks. I'm so sorry I worried you. I'll see about being more careful how I come across in the future.Leah J.

I wanted to write yesterday, and I did in a bitchmoangripe kind of way at a writing site I go to in re: the heat and such, but Mrs. Mangum's latest adventure is still languishing, unfinished. <br /><br />And yes, TBL is correct. The photo is genius. xoxoVirginia Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10493643681622551814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1892083748555571767.post-32139041119930671702010-08-04T06:55:40.743-06:002010-08-04T06:55:40.743-06:00What a good idea.

I mean of those 1,000 words some of them are good enough to stay in the final draft, but I realize it'll take editing and I expect it'll be brutal. Thanks for asking. Glad you like the pic.
