That's kind of the case for me, though it's more that I need to focus when ideas are flowing. <br /><br />My hubby also picked the broomstick as his flying tool of choice. I don't have as much confidence in my balance. LOL.<br /><br />Good luck with your rewrite. Planning some speed dates at SCBWI? Hope those go well!Laurel Garverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03657218435228802535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4263988256560129564.post-71236130097470584042013-07-18T11:13:22.666-04:002013-07-18T11:13:22.666-04:00Definitly Bellatrix's taunting is the very wor...Definitly Bellatrix's taunting is the very worst thing about her.

Now i'm tempted to start a meme on How to Train Your Dragon!

After my vacation to Paris, I finally figured out how to write a novel that I've been turning around in my mind for years.<br /><br />I think European vacations are definitely good for the writing soul.:)Connie Kellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774616533630985219noreply@blogger.com
