You never sound like a damp squib -I was only referring to it getting easier to work with other people's feedback and turn new leads into your own. Not anything else... I'll try to stop the children growing so fast but I'll enjoy my precious time with them whilst they're making books/writing fab stories etc. (and living life) just in case I can't stop them growing...Juliet Clare Bellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06020801246132751659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-16204032811232107762012-09-24T13:24:18.986+01:002012-09-24T13:24:18.986+01:00Love the pics of the launch and your kids!

And at risk of sounding like a wet squib, I'm not sure that the more you do the easier it gets. Anyway, here's to a big success for your book and I'll nip into my local library and make sure it's face out on the shelf, for as many to share as poss, and for you to get that PLR bonus!Bridget Marzohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08113818186666446243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3758609568631190155.post-59983026188457186042012-09-23T11:08:28.208+01:002012-09-23T11:08:28.208+01:00Thank you Susanna.
