Thai Die will work itself out and it will be brilliant, just like all the other Betsy books. I know, you're laughing at me going, "Riiiight. This woman has no clue to the he** I've gone through, the blood, sweat & tears." But this is how I know it will be just fine, you used the word codswallop in your blog entry. If that isn't doesn't remind you that you are a brilliant writer, then I don't know what I'm talking about.

I bought one for my artificial tree last year. Wow! Talk about strong. If you keep it in the little plastic sleeve and slide it up and down, you get LOTS of pine scent. A year later, I have to keep it mostly in the sleeve because it's still very piney.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-13491070973680587732007-12-13T08:20:00.000-05:002007-12-13T08:20:00.000-05:00Monica--I've got it!Buy an evergreen candle!!!!!Monica--<BR/><BR/>I've got it!<BR/><BR/>Buy an evergreen candle!!!!!Joanna Campbell Slanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951637123269159053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7731159552335760887.post-72908244717520096472007-12-13T07:29:00.000-05:002007-12-13T07:29:00.000-05:00I certainly am not qualified to comment on writing...I certainly am not qualified to comment on writing, but the tree?

My suggestion? Take a break. Don't think about it (consciously) for a day or two. Your subconscious will be working on it anyway and tell you how to fix whatever may be wrong.
