On the plus side, we're eating so healthy by not buying anything premade. On the downside, I have to make everything. :)<br /><br />You're so right about the non-fiction writers. They're helping me slash a novel that I thought couldn't be trimmed any more.<br /><br />~DebbieDebbie Maxwell Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02533418585502995994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998863657658685998.post-62682537258942711172013-02-21T14:08:20.586-07:002013-02-21T14:08:20.586-07:00Welcome back!

You end up being loyal to certain brands and grocery items, and becoming an expert on what to look out for. <br /><br />And have faith in the nonfiction writers, my friend! :-) IMHO, nonfiction writers are skilled in going straight to the facts and the heart of the matter, so I'm glad to read that your nonfiction critique partners are helping to tighten your prose. <br /><br />Be well...JDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05234966786590125696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998863657658685998.post-1291992129860450412013-02-21T13:59:28.397-07:002013-02-21T13:59:28.397-07:00Thank you so much, Faith.

I'm glad things are getting closer to normal at least.<br /><br />I, too, am in a new critique group and getting a lot out of it, even though there are only three of us. I love feeling like I'm growing! And it certainly does help to have motivation to finish the chapter, and the next one, and the next one...Evangeline Denmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12751937297015889994noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998863657658685998.post-46253177733612986112013-02-21T13:31:00.797-07:002013-02-21T13:31:00.797-07:00Welcome back and nice to hear that life is getting...Welcome back and nice to hear that life is getting a positive swing to it.<br /><br />It's been a while since I've been in a critic group, but I know how valuable they can be.<br /><br />Enjoy!Dean K Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01846624912452227191noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5998863657658685998.post-90416493760671048002013-02-21T08:38:05.889-07:002013-02-21T08:38:05.889-07:00Thank you both.
