But I won't — because, even if you would agree, as soon as it was done and irrevocable I would immediately feel that the first lot were the right ones after all and the second lot a big mistake! :(Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075102395346447580.post-61226447885252491472011-02-10T20:34:02.242+00:002011-02-10T20:34:02.242+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Rosemary Nissen-Wadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05913841031559499568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075102395346447580.post-47303509533628969182011-02-10T20:15:47.892+00:002011-02-10T20:15:47.892+00:00As a never before published, never written much pe...As a never before published, never written much person, you've described me perfectly in the quaking underneath the sofa type. I've really appreciated your and Kaspa's gentle encouragement to contribute. I doubt I would have otherwise.

When I sent off my 10 stones before reading Kaspa's post on criteria, ironically, I think I selected a couple of stones (over others) that had more ego in them. The process of publishing tweaks ego, doesn't it? I had to laugh that two that I was torn about that didn't have much writer in them were left behind in favor of two that did. It was one of those "Aha" moments :-)nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03445777687088584603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075102395346447580.post-61278675786296026232011-02-10T12:07:17.070+00:002011-02-10T12:07:17.070+00:00Hey Fiona, In this left side profile of yours, may...Hey Fiona, In this left side profile of yours, may I ask, does the other side (right side) look just as attractive, let alone, does it look the same?

It wasn't our intention when we started the river - the idea of producing a book as a way of recording our first monthly challenge came later - but we'd really like to include as many of our original writers as we can. There is of course no obligation to submit - but we want to be as encouraging as we can! I hope that makes sense.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08599095035971045492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5075102395346447580.post-28622298614194704512011-02-10T10:19:33.346+00:002011-02-10T10:19:33.346+00:00Hi Fiona, I haven't submitted anything for you...Hi Fiona, I haven't submitted anything for your book. Reading this post,( your tweet brought me back over here,) I wonder why I didn't, and I'm not quite sure but I guess it's because I didn't join the river with that in mind. I probably missed the part where you said that was your intention. My butterfly mind... I hope it goes well though! love JoannaJoannanoreply@blogger.com
