I love it.<br /><br />Elizabeth gives some great advice. I'm currently working very hard on edits and trying to get my story ready for the world. But, YIKES! equating it to dating. I have been out of that market for a long, long time. Not sure I even know what it would be like. But still, her reasoning is valid and makes a lot of sense.<br /><br />Thanks!farawayeyeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17578277501054242356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7281599665527326905.post-277165478239925412015-02-27T14:54:07.871-07:002015-02-27T14:54:07.871-07:00I dated just 10 years ago, so I can confirm they a...I dated just 10 years ago, so I can confirm they are VERY similar.
