I too have cooked things a fraction too long when perusing the computer. <br />Nicole :)Nicole Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08598127749197100363noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203846063679523476.post-70076696017486446832011-02-20T13:47:13.287+11:002011-02-20T13:47:13.287+11:00All the very best with your re-writes, Amanda.

It has been years since I looked at this manuscript though so rather different.<br />Thank you, Mandy. Confession time: The blog post was due and I didn't have a clue what to write about. Had just sat down after the rescue of those peaches - which by the way taste quite nice with ice cream or yoghurt of course!Mary Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603850711168486457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203846063679523476.post-82964870398510253932011-02-17T09:29:21.563+11:002011-02-17T09:29:21.563+11:00I really enjoyed reading this, Mary!I really enjoyed reading this, Mary!Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08311008312969794019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9203846063679523476.post-38280384246002287542011-02-17T08:38:10.057+11:002011-02-17T08:38:10.057+11:00I love this post Mary!

I've made the same mistake - computer while cooking - bad news!! :) And I'm into my third re-working of a story I've had in my head for years - but then I learn more about the craft and realise I have to start over. Loving the learning experience though.
