Authenticity tomorrow I think.<br /><br />Rebecca - you don't know how happy it makes me that the Pigeon makes me smile.<br /><br />Jennifer J - would NEVER be falsely nice about students. If they were a bunch of showers, I should just discreetly say nothing. As it is, I am lucky to have such a talented bunch who make the writing exercises, in particular, a joy. :)Tania Kindersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18355967725006605825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-3576501326692642912011-07-05T17:48:12.780+01:002011-07-05T17:48:12.780+01:00Loving, loving, loving the workshop!

I do hope you don't feel you have to be nice (ha!) about your students in your blog - I feel as if this is a strange moment where reality meets.... another kind of reality, if that doesn't sound too weird. Looking forward to Day 3! :)Jennifer J Watsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01760925413986340709noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-2292913097440631922011-07-05T16:25:51.147+01:002011-07-05T16:25:51.147+01:00I got to the end of your post and just smiled.

Such a beautiful photo of such a beautiful dog.<br /><br />On a side note - whenever anyone in my family (brothers, uncles, cousins, grandparents, whatever) says anything ending in a preposition, someone is sure to chime in with the pedantic hat version! Very often it's a race to see who can get it out first.Becca McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09339982441409936532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1365244084462704027.post-55351597718528486662011-07-05T15:57:26.176+01:002011-07-05T15:57:26.176+01:00I am so glad you are posting this right now.

Coincidentally I am plodding along through a horrible first draft of a novel this month (year, fine, I admit it) and it is so helpful to hear these things from a friendly voice. Will you post on authenticity too? I hope so. Thank you!Elliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04888019230555832929noreply@blogger.com
