What a gift to be able to see your growth as a writer and to share that with us your audience in a blog.

As I was reading about your re-review of your books I wondered if you have anyone else read it over for you too?

I do make them self-evaluate in their writing. That is the most telling day as they realize how much their writing has grown.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06278460511151322545noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36709846.post-78766677730579858152012-01-29T13:06:41.024-08:002012-01-29T13:06:41.024-08:00Hi Lizbo!
