I have to limit the amount of books I bring home from the library, how much time I disappear into the 'net, and all that. Highlighting is a wonderful idea!<br /><br />And written words are never duds--they make you grow as a writer. :)<br /><br />NancyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169148405354916052.post-71914049200175982272011-08-05T04:35:59.971+01:002011-08-05T04:35:59.971+01:00Excellent job on the writing front!

I sometimes make the horrible decision to let a sentence dangle while I saunter off to google to look something up,and of course I completely forget where I was going with things by the time I return.<br /><br />And aqua aerobics sounds like a blast! I took one of those classes a couple of years ago and it was SUCH a fantastic workout. I may have to try it again when school starts back in the fall.jamilajamisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09343161298632681693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8169148405354916052.post-17088539842440435642011-08-04T22:32:19.953+01:002011-08-04T22:32:19.953+01:00Congratulations!

All you have to do is keep it that way.<br />And, by the way, good luck with your new goal.

I need to be better about leaving a note or xxx and searching for details later instead of stopping the flow.

It's truly a time to celebrate :) I tend to type in BBL (be back later) where I know I need some research rather than lose sight of my story and lose myself on the internet.<br /><br />I love research. I also love to research while I'm doing research, lol. In other words I end up wondering how I lost 4 hours and didn't write a single word *sigh*. <br /><br />Keep up the great momentum!<br /><br />MarieMarie Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05483640008622878711noreply@blogger.com
