My husband said I didn't rush and I enunciated well (Yay!). <br /><br />If I even still owned a tape recorder (which I don't think I do), I have trouble listening to my own voice. Wouldn't matter WHAT I was saying, either!

It's something I have to get over if I ever expect to make this writing career work, though, huh?<br /><br />Michael - I've tried those 100-word short stories before. Never could figure out how to do that. I like writing LONG. Even my 900-word short story that I'm reading tonight is way short for me (I kept wanting to ADD stuff, but then it would be too long!).Stacy McKitrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07898731847653710759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5917316172488329464.post-22690159735206081482013-10-26T07:38:35.956-04:002013-10-26T07:38:35.956-04:00Plans for the weekend?
