Re: things i learned from mother
Yeah, I thought that would be a giveaway. Now I've got to make my way over to Christian Creative Writers and catch up on my work over there. It's all way overdue. Thankfully I'm not being graded on it, because I would get a big fat "F." I'm undecided on whether to do a new workshop so I'm kind of avoiding it. I need to catch up with the writing contests and I there's the little matter of starting the new editing and critiquing services. I don't even know where to begin.
Re: things i learned from mother

again - proud of you! impressed with your diligence and works that benefit so many!!
grace and peace, friend...
