But at the same time, I have to be professional enough to make sure that everything I write that finds its way into print has to be as good (accordingly to its own lights) as it can be. That picture book text will end up about 200 words long. And that's not as easy as it sounds.Thomas Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12987047131104943571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981609828734332286.post-65282973820406930562010-11-05T16:58:26.016+00:002010-11-05T16:58:26.016+00:00Do you favor one over the other?Do you favor one over the other?Terry Stonecrophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03726985400500572770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8981609828734332286.post-81149137486211635592010-11-05T13:43:55.898+00:002010-11-05T13:43:55.898+00:00Ok.
