It's frustrating as hell because I put care into everything I publish. <BR/><BR/>What really got me was when someone blew off CNN linking to my blog re: the awful murder we had here earlier this year as "they just wanted someone local." I checked with our expert (Ronni Bennett) and she told me I had every right to be proud and explained how links were selected. <BR/><BR/>Scribbling, no -- writing, yes. <BR/><BR/>Dontcha just love people? <BR/><BR/>P.S.

They want you down at their level so they can make you feel as incompetent as they are.<BR/><BR/>You are a wonderful writer and all the people who comment here every day prove that. They would not bother with your blog if they didn't come away from reading it with a new idea or a book suggestion or just some fun like One ringy- dingy.........<BR/><BR/>Keep up the great work and try not to pay any attention to critics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26258540.post-73302814478474589012007-09-27T16:08:00.000-05:002007-09-27T16:08:00.000-05:00Scribbling?! *Scoff* Ignorant woman.
