Sorry I've been so absent today... between exercising, housework, and watching stuff with my children I've been offline pretty much all day... but I've LOVE all these comments. Thank you SO MUCH for encouragement.<br /><br />Rosie-You're hired! *snort* Oh wait... taking it back, eh?<br /><br />RaShelle--I think it is so true that being READY when the luck happens is HUGE.<br /><br />Ben--wouldn't SEND something that hadn't been then typed and spell checked! My brain just needs to process via hand.<br /><br />Missed Periods-WELCOME! Don't think I've seen you here before. And I will possibly some day transition, but not until I give up stats by computer in the day job. If I don't do that, my brain tapped at the computer will remain analytical.<br /><br />Elizabeth--it IS hard, isn't it? And THANK YOU!<br /><br />Ezmirelda- I like the bath because the hot water relaxes me, which taps something creative.<br /><br />Alex--I think you SHOULD write naked. But you probably know that.Hart Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17599570189253229318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-44617435478574936792010-07-24T22:42:02.332-04:002010-07-24T22:42:02.332-04:00I hand write as well, Hart.

That takes great confidence to do so. <br />I always type, because then it's easier to find spelling errors, I have a million good resources on the internet, it's faster to type, and if I'm stuck on a synonym, Microsoft Word is there to help.Ben Schmitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16019434421782235322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7127677169344207651.post-66668919256727491902010-07-24T13:37:49.056-04:002010-07-24T13:37:49.056-04:00Hey Hart - First I wanted to say yesterday, my com...Hey Hart - First I wanted to say yesterday, my comment about you crawling through the window - I believe it was your skills baby. Luck, to me, is being in the right place at the right time and being PREPARED for that moment (I think that was an Oprah thing). Hee hee. We create our luck, which is what you did. You were ready to seize the opportunity and you've the talent, so there ya go. <br /><br />Congrats on the progress you've made. Awesome!!

Nor do I manage to dig out a notebook to write down edits instead of tinkering when I should not.<br /><br />These lessons have to be learned over and over to become habit, I suppose.
