Do you have a fantastic memory? <br /><br />I've also seen the two=one co-writers who wear their real name in small print and in huge letters "half of [author name here]" They can't finish sentences because they're so used to the other person doing that for them. <br /><br />Sometimes they separate but when you talk to just one on her own, she can't seem to pay attention to what you're saying because her listening half is missing.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02495558736099438348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8343238.post-16503963125566184092009-06-02T08:45:01.823-04:002009-06-02T08:45:01.823-04:00Makes me glad that I have never attended a writer'...Makes me glad that I have never attended a writer's conference.
