However, I am glad this piece bridges the gap for you. Thanks for stopping by! You'll find we have some things in common, I am from Nashville! I think you gave me my next post topic...<br /><br />Karen- Thank you, kindly.<br /><br />Kristi- I am trying to find my voice. I write very differently in different pieces. This one came out sarcastically, and I like it, too! Thank you for the encouragement! I owe you a book, and you owe me an address!<br /><br />Helen- The best feedback of all is correction and criticism. Thank you. I think some of my journalism training kicked in: when we write packages we end where we begin, tying it all together. Also, I was going for intrigue and surprise. Sort of a "where is she going? what am I missing?" kind of thing. But if it didn't hook you, I will have to rethink that. <br /><br />Chasing- Mental images are good. Thanks!<br /><br />Jemi- Grabbing attention is also good! Glad you stopped by!<br /><br />This is great feedback, and you all only make me a better writer. Your comments and criticism encourage me to keep going and to keep sharing. Thank you.JournoMichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11170364981958685438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-29118246451863575252009-12-15T19:03:44.181-05:002009-12-15T19:03:44.181-05:00Sure grabbed my attention, Michele - very nice :)Sure grabbed my attention, Michele - very nice :)Jemi Fraserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02214408467456320167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7193005159654060545.post-30848920845952248372009-12-15T17:00:46.657-05:002009-12-15T17:00:46.657-05:00More, more!
