Especially since I am an R near the end of the alphabet. However, I am deeply content with the idea that quite possibly, it could be that your bookshelf has little in the N-Z crowd because you haven't really opened yourself up to the idea of thinking like us alphabet enders. Or quite possibly we have a higher thinking that you just have not morphed to yet. Or perhaps it is because we're so smart we don't waste our time writing philosophical theory books that grow dusty on shelves.<BR/><BR/>Or maybe we were just the paste eaters in school and can't really string a coherent sentence together.<BR/><BR/>On the 500 word problem...write as much as you want and then pare it down. Always works for me. And considering most of my time is spent writing press releases and newsletters, it's sage advice.Lesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12891041230874404452noreply@blogger.com
