It uses the writing muscle and will feel into other more careful work later.

I'm having fun with what I'm writing, though, and finding it really freeing to see where the story takes me and not have to listen to my internal editor. It's fun to actually get a story that's been rumbling around instead my head for a while into a WP doc. <br /><br />Good luck for the final stretch!Kathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12719765628886270649noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8163853508689473524.post-82864121818763192462010-11-22T17:31:40.589+00:002010-11-22T17:31:40.589+00:00shirley - thanks.
