I miss reading just for the sake of reading. I still do it once in awhile, but if I find an error, I sigh, roll my eyes and move on. Errors used to bother me before I started on this path, now they're just downright irritating. I do get over it and enjoy the story for what it is, but boy.... sometimes...Mel Chesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08200734886454147170noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254902043762303002.post-28174673146817625162013-10-03T11:51:17.934-07:002013-10-03T11:51:17.934-07:00I still like reading but I'm definitely more c...I still like reading but I'm definitely more critical. <br /><br />I follow with my new ID.

It's a huge reason why I took such a long lull from writing and blogging. but I'm trying to get back into both (and have even rebooted my blog to add my guitar playing).<br /><br />But I'm so thrilled to see that your own writing and blogging has been going well. I read "The Mistaken" a long time ago and know that you're a wonderful writer! <br /><br />I wish you nothing but tremendous success, Nancy, and know that you're going to achieve it! Never let insecurity or jadedness stand in your way -- write like a reader and enjoy what you write. You're great at both!<br />StratPlayerCJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07341440379767694905noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5254902043762303002.post-70225434643955663212013-10-03T08:58:03.023-07:002013-10-03T08:58:03.023-07:00I agree with Natalie.
