I am sure that some of her points would make a bigger difference if you had not already established such a large and loyal following with your charming personality.<br /><br />I enjoyed reading the critique as it gave me a lot of ideas and tips. I am a newbie so I appreciate blogging advice and look for it wherever I can find it.<br /><br />I love your blogMelissa Sugarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16268333458796847721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-23767868655261241752011-10-20T11:21:11.621-04:002011-10-20T11:21:11.621-04:00Well if it means anything, you've already sold...Well if it means anything, you've already sold me just on your personality. ;D If you get a book out there, I'll be first in line.Lisa Gail Greenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03648323153868702165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5345890055658252124.post-38207675729553053342011-10-20T09:55:13.960-04:002011-10-20T09:55:13.960-04:00Okay, that sort of rocked.
