It was after thinking about what I know that I realized my background is boring. Which is exactly why I don't bother with Twitter.<br /><br />Jennie, look at it as learning to write that back-jacket copy for one of your exciting novels. 200 words, that's 16 words a day before I blog next.Wilfred Bereswillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03019217952304685255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33226151.post-57002454062247178452010-01-18T08:41:40.930-05:002010-01-18T08:41:40.930-05:00Maybe for the month of February we should all writ...Maybe for the month of February we should all write free-form posts introducing ourselves...<br /><br />(Yes, I'm trying to get out of the flash fiction smackdown Freddy has challenged me to.

That doctor is no fool.<br /><br />Gina, if you mean you are unsuccessful in that you're not yet published, that may be one take.
