You see, she had selective memory: if it was bad, it never happened. For years, my brother and I had to do reality checks. I'd call him and ask, "Remember when we...?" He'd respond not only with an affirmative, but also additional details I hadn't come up with. Our mother insisted it never happened. I've always been good with names as well. I know I really had nothing to do with it, but I'm grateful!Lorna Collins -https://www.blogger.com/profile/01800799069326690421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5704943052235281766.post-77503671504231044332013-10-23T13:05:32.051-06:002013-10-23T13:05:32.051-06:00Ah, and I thought it was only me...

The "old ways" in which an author managed his/her career are gone, for many of us, and its a challenge to keep the train on the track these days. Lists are my most important tool for everything these days.
