When I was growing up, my English professor father wrote novels on the side, and I wrote lots of stories; we loved sharing and discussing them. And now both of my daughters write--one writes songs, and the other writes novels. We're constantly passing drafts around and offering each other suggestions. We've always been close, but this has brought us closer. (I should say that my husband writes, too, but his writing is more academic.) Bridgid, I think one of my daughters, especially, would love your novella--I'm going to send her the link for this post. Congratulations, and best of luck!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17673578800047888317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-89224755650846920332016-09-12T12:48:19.597-04:002016-09-12T12:48:19.597-04:00We were lucky in more ways than one!

Having a tree fall on it (and the insurance company pay for a contractor to work on it) was probably the best thing that ever happened to that house. Naturally, once it was all fixed up, we sold it and moved out to the country. Not quite a cottage in the woods, but pretty close:)Bridgid Deannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3119105822589181967.post-83891559104759464382016-09-12T11:44:53.058-04:002016-09-12T11:44:53.058-04:00My thanks to all, as well.
