Thus, my split from the group for awhile, but for now, I'm plugging away a few at a time and working in other writing.<br /><br />Good to meet you and thanks for coming to my blog! As for word count and such...I'm with you.

Love that expression. Thanks for stopping by.<br /><br />M J Joachim--so glad to have you affirm the scene is the thing, not so much the word count. Appreciate your support (and style).<br /> J.Q.
