Hey Folks,
In his post today, Dean talks again about how trying to “perfect” your writing project can ruin it. He cites the coaches on The Voice saying the same thing.
But he casts a few very general nets regarding what we who read his posts believe. I can only assume he did so because he’s received a lot of disparaging comments over the years.
Still, generalizations really annoy me, so I chose not to include his post in “Of Interest” today. So if you do go read it, please do so with a grain of salt. Guy probably has a toothache or something.

Due to various circumstances, I got a late start and only one long session today. Not quite two hours with a short break in the middle.
Then I headed up to the house to check on the babies and laundry. While I was there I found baseball will begin shortly so I’m gonna call it a day.
Talk with you again soon.
