Tinkering is easier, but when I was still left with an unwieldy manuscript I realized all I did by tinkering was waste time putting off the inevitable.Kim Van Sicklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04957877837203134260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5037395117572651907.post-77818555207906234982012-01-20T20:19:03.824-05:002012-01-20T20:19:03.824-05:00Thanks Debbie.
