Writing really is a delicate balancing act between being an actor (when you're channeling your characters) and being a director with a god's-eye view of the whole book. It seems like you've got that balance sorted, with that great snip! :-)Rachel Walshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15406943046329566026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2274987097756433491.post-49091194233765340652010-07-15T09:35:32.166-05:002010-07-15T09:35:32.166-05:00Brilliant Claire!
