As with radio and cell phones, it takes a transmitter and a receiver, both working on the same frequency.<br /><br />Best wishes, Julia.

I...I, too, am going to miss your posts here, Julia. I often struggle for the right way to say things. I was doing just that last night for a guest blog post I was drafting for my Friday appearance on Buried Under Books. I'm hoping that with a cup of coffee and a clear head this morning, the right words will come. That's often the best thing you can do--sleep on it!Beth Groundwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13999372882748655834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3529128955266044151.post-57961576857426392012011-04-12T09:56:14.099-04:002011-04-12T09:56:14.099-04:00Paraphrasing Agatha Christie here, who in her auto...Paraphrasing Agatha Christie here, who in her autobiography claimed she was generally dissatisfied with what she'd just written. She knew that it could be better, but she didn't see how SHE could make it better. I always feel exactly like that. Translating the idea to the page, well...that's why they pay us novelists the big bucks.<br /><br />I am going to miss you, kiddo. I think of you as our resident philosopher, as you are always so wise and thoughtful.G.M.
