All anyone ever sees is the glittery, beautiful end result (which makes writing seem easy). Non-writers rarely understand that writing a novel is every bit as much work as building a house!Holly Schindlerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16742207239654178917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3388578325782539013.post-87923151498421855462012-11-26T09:43:56.547-05:002012-11-26T09:43:56.547-05:00Oh yes.
