| I know how you feel. I've always had a hard time expressing myself, because I couldn't find the words to say what I wanted to say. That still bugs me today. One of my boyfriends was the type of guy who never take my feelings into consideration and al... | |

| If you both do it, it would be even better. I mean, different people see different things, you know. I know I beta read for a French friend of mine together with another friend of mine. You'd have a friend and fan for life, lol. | |

| Thanks. I usually know where to put everything. But this story is very dear to me. It's been my project for 10 years already and I'm far from finished. So I wanted to make sure I'd put it in the right place. | |
