My critique partners are constantly calling me on this, because after I tell a joke, I almost always follow it up with a sentence that essentially says, "Oooh! Funny!" just in case people didn't get it. So now I have to edit just for those gosh darned sentences.<BR/><BR/>Sad, huh?Carrie Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14893023777471521703noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034944370161032319.post-33947003111989692322008-10-26T21:42:00.000-04:002008-10-26T21:42:00.000-04:00Hehe, maybe that's why we had to suffer through th...Hehe, maybe that's why we had to suffer through them. :) I sometimes still have to remind myself that to a writer, even the bad times are good experiences.K.C.

The list goes on and on. <BR/><BR/>I think my writing is my therapy for working out the trauma of those days trapped in my demented lil head. <BR/><BR/>I guess maybe in retrospect those days were good for something. <BR/><BR/>;0)<BR/><BR/>ChristyC.R.
