I see what you mean about my question about whether I can use the names (or change them) in the piece about the track.<br /> Magpie is right, nice little pebbles, a bright feather, something that glitters. <br /> I've never seen anything written about me. I've seen many photographs from various situations and might think, oh, she looks forlorn, at least recently, but I never mind them even if I look ghastly...In many ways, photography has been my fiend (that's a freudian slip) and I just accept what anyone else thinks of me that the photograph shows...<br /> thanks...melissashookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02398008713376655570noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205011361740478772.post-52755098126648400412009-11-15T19:56:00.832-08:002009-11-15T19:56:00.832-08:00Writers are magpies.
