Quote of the Day © BrummetMedia.ca " When you're in love you never really know  whether your elation comes from  the qualities of the one you love,  or if it attributes them to her;  whether the light which surrounds her  like a halo comes from you,  from her,  or from the meeting of your sparks. " ~ Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972), translated from French by Anna Livia ~~   Visit the Brummet's @:  http://BrummetMedia.ca

I do enjoy the interesting conversations there and also being able to pay-it-forward.  Way back in 1998, when I was new to professional writing, I had a ton of questions and I recall all the advice and help I received when I was new to the world of writing.
