No matter how many times I go over it beforehand, I always find ways to say things better, or find little mistakes I missed before.<br /><br />The one good thing about kindle is if I do discover something later, it's easy to take it back, fix it and let it stumble out again into the book world.<br /><br />Morgan Mandel<br />http://morganmandel.blogspot.comMorgan Mandelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10118929301591850918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1025201337316610324.post-62543164935358813962012-02-10T11:12:09.439-05:002012-02-10T11:12:09.439-05:00I think you're exactly right, Laura.
