Thanks...Love rereading the Outlander books, li :-)<br /><br />Thanks Madeline, Nas and Glynis, I'm glad you liked it!<br /><br />And yet it's almost over, ZanMarie, isn't it sad? I got about that many words in too. Hopefully some of them will find their way into the wip.<br /><br />Oh, Liz, you read Outlander when it first came out? How on earth did you stand the wait between each book? I discovered them when A Breath of Snow and Ashes came out and it was a long time to wait for An Echo in the Bone. I'm glad you liked the excerpt!<br /><br />Thanks for the award, Su!<br /><br />I think all my writer friends have been hitting above 30,000, Pamela, which is above average apparently! Glad you liked my snip :-)<br /><br />Don't worry Gina and Theresa - you guys still have a greater vocabulary than Shakespear [g]<br /><br />A post about Jamie, Jennifer?
