And if I'm walking into a new place, I usually focus on the people who are there first before noticing the setting. Food for thought though for sure.Roni Lorenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02719679344024635326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-27482659752057717492010-03-25T14:50:24.170-06:002010-03-25T14:50:24.170-06:00Great thoughts here!

I can always tell a lot about a person through their voice.Michelle D.

Especially when I'm revising, which is when I get to know them best.<br /><br />But for myself... I know I have flaws. I know I look at the world differently than some people. So maybe I have? And when I forget, my husband reminds me that maybe it IS just me. :)Elana Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05877856005992028912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2287168903003077619.post-83549412513874975252010-03-25T08:36:17.567-06:002010-03-25T08:36:17.567-06:00This is one of the things that I have thought abou...This is one of the things that I have thought about recently with my revisions.
