If you've got a great story, it will find its way in the world - it's tricky, and it takes hard work, but it's not hopeless.Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11604494404874408870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32918125.post-70552860446965085342012-04-05T16:54:44.094-05:002012-04-05T16:54:44.094-05:00I agree Lauri.
