It seemed strange when there was no more left to write - like a kid going off to college and you are alone for a while.<br /><br />Margot's Magic Carpet - all 11 of my books on one page<br />http://perfectmagiccarpet.blogspot.com/Magic Carpet of 16x Bookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145090220955463862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363676184114538880.post-75915795001271023072011-03-23T16:28:21.948-04:002011-03-23T16:28:21.948-04:00It sounds like you certainly keep busy promoting y...It sounds like you certainly keep busy promoting your writing and that's a very good thing! <br />Heidi<br />http://heidiwriter.wordpress.comHeidiwriterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02593338979995203659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8363676184114538880.post-56919241321553605382011-03-23T11:17:03.346-04:002011-03-23T11:17:03.346-04:00It was fun to learn more about Margot.
