One was about how much I hated chemistry. lol Sadly I lost them along the way, I'd love to look back on them now.

I didn't start writing until I was 38. And, you are so right. If I want a really good laugh, I can take out and read the first draft of my manuscript. It was horrible! It took me four years to get it ready for publication. And, even still, I know I could have done better. But, we have to start somewhere and good writing comes from lots and lots of bad writing ;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15548140115051097060noreply@blogger.com
