Sometimes I spend too much time analyzing what I do, but these days I don't want to waste time by writing or publishing something that's going to just sit there. And if my heart isn't into it, then I won't be able to expand it into a series or whatever. I won't be changing the things I write so much as I'm looking at them in a whole different way. Bobbi A.
