Too bad so few writers understand atmosphere and tone and what they can add to a story. I get tired of explaining when betas and CPs ask "Is this line about setting necessary?" <br />Great post! :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07735576044552810103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-32335411096315936112012-12-05T22:22:37.638-06:002012-12-05T22:22:37.638-06:00See you in the morning for the "unveiling&quo...See you in the morning for the "unveiling" :)Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2542041444980449672.post-23467310606235215982012-12-05T21:56:15.008-06:002012-12-05T21:56:15.008-06:00This actually could have been a "regular"...This actually could have been a "regular" series.
