It's always tough to make changes and a lot of times painful, but so worth it when you come through it all and can look back and see the beautiful difference it made. A great way to end my day, thank you! I plan to have pleasant dreams.<br />Have an amazing day/night!! <br />Heather :)Heather Henryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754067768246898183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-12400453181846539872011-04-21T11:48:32.153-05:002011-04-21T11:48:32.153-05:00Jo :

I love the Ignorance Star Wars picture.<br /><br />VR :<br />I re-read many of the Spenser novels for the wit, love, and friendship involved in the mystery whose end I already know. But you have a point : fantasy and Sci-Fi novels are re-read typically due to the awe, wonder, and marvels contained in them. Or it could just be within the individual reader whether they re-read books.<br /><br />Eric :<br />UFO enthusiasts point to the intricate, enormous ground lines of Nazca as proof that they could only be done with aid from flying craft. Cue the spooky music, right? LOL.<br /><br />Noemi :<br />Your blog is lovely. And I noticed no grammar mistakes, so they must have been minor or ones that I have seen so often as a former English teacher that they caused few ripples.<br /><br />You might start with a short, short story : something they call flash fiction, a thousand words or so. Your evocative longing for your place of origin was truly beautiful. Thanks for visiting, Roland<br /><br />Siv :<br />It was a great way to start the morning for me to see a comment from you, too.

I rarely read a book more than once (Major exception: THE HOBBIT). When I read a truly great book, I take something away from the experience that stays with me always. That's what I hope for my readers.<br /><br />Do you think this is maybe a genre difference?VR Barkowskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04927993233682731113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-54040403029391499722011-04-21T10:14:42.572-05:002011-04-21T10:14:42.572-05:00I like the concept of eagle-eying it.
