| Let me guess...you need some nuts in with the sugar and spice? |

| Thanks for sharing that Sue! I like the way you tie in a real story to your lesson--that's kind of similar to how I do it too.
I'll let Lin be nutty, as long as I'm sugar and spice.

| Sue, why were you up at 2 a.m.? I do like chocolate chip cookies and after reading your chapter I may know how they relate to life. I can't say for sure, though. Anyway, I liked it. |

| Life is always better with a little bit of everything thrown in...sugar, spice, nuts...whip cream doesn't hurt either, unless of course you're lactose intolerant! Well, we've managed to skirt around food on these MB's quite a bit lately, but it cannot be denied any longer...sometimes a writer's just got to eat! |

| Tired of choco chip cookies? There is always the cat's head biscuits; it's all comfort food, anyway. I liked the friend's story, too. It personalizes it. And keeping it simple makes it an easy read. |

| Thanks, Zada! People tell me it is like having me there talking to them. Too many of our self-help books nowadays aren't simple enough. I was trying to write for the ordinary people I deal with all the time.
Thanks again!

| Sue, I think you did a fine job. Many self help style books come sounding 'preachy'. What I read sounds conversational and friendly. |

| Thank you, Donald, for the kind words.
Zada, that is what others tell me also. They say it is like I am right there talking to them. I know some of the punctuation isn't "traditional". However, it is the way I talk. I can talk literate as well as illiterate depending on what I have to say and who I am talking to. I was told it was simple and easily digested. *grin* Thank you for your kind words as well.
I find that when I read my own book I have aha moments. It is like someone else has written the book and I am reading it for the first time everytime I read it. LOL... There are people who are on their 5th reading of it and get something new each time. That excites me!
