They edited it and I laid it aside as I felt I needed to take a job. That was almost five years ago. I've done some plays that made me feel drained,as well.quietspirithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06086016141181470311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046333608458306911.post-52168319379956302572009-11-02T10:44:21.259-08:002009-11-02T10:44:21.259-08:00Congratulations!

This time I didn't get the usual THRILL that typing The End normally gives me. I think it's because I wasn't very happy with the ending. <br /><br />When I read it over yesterday, it wasn't as cheesy as I thought at first. LOL. Still needs some polishing but that's OK.<br /><br />Good luck on your new story!!And those pumpkins are great.<br /><br />Take care,<br /><br />SueSusan Anne Masonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17258093329143787876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5046333608458306911.post-6287985861564261202009-11-02T06:54:37.871-08:002009-11-02T06:54:37.871-08:00I missed this!
