Leigh Ann, are you American?<br /><br />I too am a bit terrified of published authors, but a little bit less so since I know a few that have encouraged me. I get a little unnerved too by the authors who seem to have it all figured out on their blogs. I feel like I'm still figuring out the direction I want to take mine in. How do you two get ideas for what to blog about? Besides anything you have obviously going on and consuming your thoughts and/or time.E.M.

And when I did it would take me about 2 days to recover! I'm not sure why either… but maybe because writing was (and still is!) something so personal, so *me*, that to share it was (and is) like sharing a little piece of my soul.<br /><br />Jaffa cakes: a circle of sponge cake, with a layer orange jelly and dark chocolate on the top. *Happy sigh*Emma Passhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18209194238119830841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2169809609802357406.post-54940377670041532432012-04-12T19:59:53.122+01:002012-04-12T19:59:53.122+01:00WOW!
