Your perception is sharp and keen as always.You nailed the X focus and one of the things that I'd really like people to have taken away from this, which is this: I write for the everyday person, not to be in the elite circle of literary snobs. <br /><br />Sean~ It ebbs and flows. ;-)<br /><br />Chris~ Both Jo's say thank you and they think you rock too.<br /><br />John~ You are probably right. But good ol' Jo deserves alot of credit, despite her stubborn, tunnel vission, biased ways. She has kept J. Mac alive, her soul unbroken and hot as fire. If it wasn't for Jo, there would be no J. Mac. . ;-)<br /><br />Julie~ Thanks, Girl!Jodi MacArthurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13373591664178281529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445048503136822514.post-91231974505450372612011-03-18T16:41:27.198+00:002011-03-18T16:41:27.198+00:00Gosh I love John Wiswell so swell.
