A good/great book requires conflict/challenges/adversity. "The growing soul is watered best by tears of adversity." (I think that's the exact quote by Charlie Brown.) Put "work in progress" in place of "growing soul."<br /><a href="http://annbestblog.wordpress.com/" rel="nofollow"><i>Ann Best, Author of In the Mirror & Other Memoirs</i></a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-35141047930153455922012-01-16T21:50:44.386-05:002012-01-16T21:50:44.386-05:00Thanks, Saloma!
