And I admire you for being the guinea pig in our "live critique." Thanks for putting in your emotional-level responses to our take on your work. We don't often get to hear what is going on in the writer's mind during a workshop session. Your glimpse is helpful to me -- and I am sure it will be to other readers as well.

She suggested I include words that mentioned the charade; I suggested we substitute "a member" for your name because I liked the rhythm of the sentences, and that seemed to me a solution. However, it went live with no correction at all. If either one of us had altered it, it would have been close to your suggestion. You are the last person in the world who is a slacker--whatever the opposite of slacker is, that's you. I agree. Live and learn and keep on going. :)I hope that is the symbol for SMILE! Hey, Leatha,

Late -- yep, I often am -- but not for work!! We just wanted people to know that someone will be late for every meeting, and the point is to just keep going. Yay, Kaboom! We keep going no matter what. Okay, Lynn — Thanks for making me look like a slacker!
