yeah, that is quite the drawback. you could always pretend that Syd or I mentioned it first, as im sure it got a run in the UK and here before it was in the states.
i wish i had this skill, then perhaps i wouldnt be so deathly afraid of spiders. funny, im going to be swimming with sharks, and other death defying situations, yet something smaller than my thumb gives me goosebumps. wtf.
You all need to go get the book "If You Want to Write" by Brenda Ueland. If you hate it, Guy Kawasaki will give you your money back. He won't even do that for his own books.
