I couldnt put it down...unless one of my babies needed something...even then i would sigh, "Really? You need me right now?" Lol. Awesome voice, made me laugh, taught me well and i am 1/4 way through my manuscript now (1st draft)! I'll probably read it again, i know ill refer back to it! I felt at home, like having a convo with a friend that don't beat around the bush or fill ur head with false realities (i assume friends r this way, i choose to keep a small circle...more like a couple dots). Onward!
