The British author A.S.

She is a damn good writer herself though, so it cannot be wholly true then.

Anyway, good luck! [img]smile.gif[/img]

LOL that’s too true. When I wrote more because I had to in English class I was my biggest critic. My English teacher drilled this flaw out of me so much it has become a flaw in its self, no being able to criticise my own work at all!
Some of my friends are studying art, I may say a piece of their work is really good and they disagree and start pointing out all the tiny flaws in the picture. Now I normally write for fun and everything else is a bonus [img]smile.gif[/img] .
