It looks like some famous author put it there!<br /><br />Just kidding. But the exact same words and paragraphs have finally been put where they belong.Linda Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05706455533282204519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821039846301805207.post-32467919693397311552011-09-21T14:07:38.426-07:002011-09-21T14:07:38.426-07:00I do.

I back myself knowing I might make mistakes, have awkward sentences, passive writing...but I back myself because I also know I have great passion in my writing, that I love my stories and the messages they send. I love myself and God loves me too. *grin* Wonderful post, Tabitha!!!Jessica Nelsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12365768876905444157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7821039846301805207.post-81870006463141686382011-09-21T08:18:21.319-07:002011-09-21T08:18:21.319-07:00I can totally relate to how you felt, but you are ...I can totally relate to how you felt, but you are totally write.
