Time is that strange thing that I never seem to have enough of.
Maybe that's why I'm so fascinated by time-tripping. I once advocated a 48-hour day, but I not sure even that would provide enough spare time to tackle all the things we'd like to have a go at.

Notapoet, time...what's that? :-) I do think it could be worthwhile.

Thank you, Dreamgirl
Card's site is full of similar advice and interesting information if you haven't checked it out yet. I'm seriously thinking about getting into one of his workshop groups if I can find the time. Structured the way they are, they might prove worthwhile.

Thanks, Darlin'
I just did on your "Blog-Page" previous post, "Better Writing Advice...." It was a unique and frustrating experience. You can see how rattled I got -- I forgot how to spell simple three-letter words. Glad you're still talking to me and that you liked this borrowed idea. I agree that it can be an excellent exercise for all of us. Many a great story or article never makes it into print because the editor isn't hooked by those first 13 lines on that first half-page.

Even if you don't send it, this sounds like a good exercise
