And like all things, you get better with practice.<br />Have you read Stephen Kings' "On Writing"? It's excellent.Tonihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16561240096806868742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1495198733430494988.post-73223849533701220702010-12-10T09:41:13.745+11:002010-12-10T09:41:13.745+11:00Thank you for the eloqunet review.
