I might have tweaked it slightly after that first draft, but I literally sent it out that afternoon!<BR/><BR/>Ha! I love the countdown idea, but alas, I fear it will be too depressingly long. :) I mean, I'll have given birth (literally) to another child by the time this book comes out!Allison Winn Scotchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06820208316115681320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31033821.post-1153325233566038482006-07-19T12:07:00.000-04:002006-07-19T12:07:00.000-04:00Whoa, you wrote that query in thirty minutes?

I think the narrow margains of the blog make it seem longer than it is. (And yeah, it did fit on one printed page when I printed it.)<BR/><BR/>As far as the crap-o-meter, I'm happy to do it. I just want to get through the first wave of questions, and then we can open that up.
