That send button must be approached with great care....I was always told, as a kid, to 'think before you ink'. If you're writing a physical letter, you have time to think - and screw the paper up and drop it in the recycle bin, no harm done :-( glenyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722150642061311226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-35004254643340393332014-01-30T18:31:56.831-05:002014-01-30T18:31:56.831-05:00Margo - seems we're all agreed on this love/ha...Margo - seems we're all agreed on this love/hate relationship - but I'm willing to bet that very few writers would want to give up their Internet connection...I shudder at the thought!glenyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722150642061311226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-40713666251281145982014-01-30T18:30:43.457-05:002014-01-30T18:30:43.457-05:00Barbara - it's hard to imagine all that bundli...Barbara - it's hard to imagine all that bundling of paper manuscripts, the query, the cover letter, the bio, the synopsis - and don't forget the time spent waiting in line at the post office! And then the disappointment if that battered, thumb marked, coffee stained ms comes back to your mailbox with a rejection note.....glenyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722150642061311226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-4639406846499216472014-01-30T18:28:27.470-05:002014-01-30T18:28:27.470-05:00Jannine - LOL - yes, the Net can be a real time su...Jannine - LOL - yes, the Net can be a real time suck, too - I am so guilty of that!glenyshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01722150642061311226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9023937099212820339.post-20367394871363215532014-01-30T18:26:45.128-05:002014-01-30T18:26:45.128-05:00Alicia - yes, I love the 'real time' capab...Alicia - yes, I love the 'real time' capability - chatting on IM or Skype as if we were all in the same room!
