LAUGHS!!!

 

Alma, girl, I was HOT when I got your email/message.  (Laughs some more)  I thought you were trying to tell me I needed to read Bird-by-frickin-Bird. Ha-ha-ha!

That suggestion,that you did not make, is what some smart-alex people in writing critique groups (MFA ones) say to evisicerate a writer whose talent and ability threatens them.

 

No worries, we cool! I understand this was sent in response to my question to you.  Duh...

Hello:

 

I looked on the SVW site for the Annie Lamott audio and did not locate it.  Do you have a link?

 

 

Thanks,
