One of the bonuses of reading blogs over the years is that I have gained an appreciation for all the hard work that goes into producing something that I as a reader may take hours to read (if i'm lucky enough not to be interrupted) but takes you months and months to produce. Anyone who writes off romance books as easy to write is completely wrong!TashNzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02146884245899602417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8015025502147924207.post-53390231459078706132013-03-23T23:41:04.617-07:002013-03-23T23:41:04.617-07:00Hi Carol!
