I apologize for being so absent yesterday. Life has a way of interfering. I am so glad that people found the interview interesting and helpful. I'm glad I threw out that last question, too. It always helps to know a bit of the personality of professionals, and that reflected it.Maryannwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09479027709233807149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-18675352428502123022012-09-25T16:07:27.783-06:002012-09-25T16:07:27.783-06:00Thanks Heidi and Linda.

Without a system in place, it's easy to try reading through what you've written for the big answers only to be smitten by the words you've written and thus, lose the thread...Plot Whispererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11184614830165104670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-37755131370632871962012-09-25T07:58:54.846-06:002012-09-25T07:58:54.846-06:00Maryann: Great last question!
