I do find I drag my feet on sending some of my stuff out but I've always attributed it to laziness on my part, as I find this part of writing much less interesting than the others. Still, there may very well be a trace {grin} of reluctance to let go there too. Thanks for the interesting and amusing article.<br /><br />Peggy<br />http://www.margaretfieland.com/Margaret Fielandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12639464925210908450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5986859118996444922.post-929028951235692342010-03-22T13:44:31.012-04:002010-03-22T13:44:31.012-04:00Ah, yes, those nasty publishers and editors who wa...Ah, yes, those nasty publishers and editors who want that "baby" to grow into a full-blown book, ready to step out into the world.
