I've started four shorts in the past 6 months. Nothing complete but I think this little group of shorts has potential. :) Molly/Cecehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14754996366796005745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10937707.post-86300508943128458622013-07-22T14:51:06.095-05:002013-07-22T14:51:06.095-05:00Hi Mirka, I hear you about the stream of conciousn...Hi Mirka, I hear you about the stream of conciousness writing.
