Love the Bookshelf Muse! And for that reason. When my words don't flow over some phrase I'm working on, I * the sucker and visit the muse when I get to my revisions! So much simpler than full-stop, rewind. Oh, I'm dating myself!

ReplyDeleteI'm there with you on the full-stop, rewind dating yourself thing!
