And, hm, I'll have a look. <br /><br />BTW, I tried to get a look at your blog, and there's a formatting weirdness - the text all covers up with white? I could only read it by RSS. I'm using Safari, if that's relevant.Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462459107482092565.post-31103150797732349552010-11-11T20:13:22.967-08:002010-11-11T20:13:22.967-08:00Thanks, Vanessa!

That would be scary and upsetting, though maybe all the Hoovers would provide some slight comic relief?Marthahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06115821731964909442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462459107482092565.post-81437306794823599682010-11-09T17:19:44.120-08:002010-11-09T17:19:44.120-08:00Excellent writing!

It could happen any day, which is why the most important things in life are the relationships we cultivate.<br /><br />- Lauren<br />www.ladaisi.blogspot.com<br /><br />P.S. You should check out this website for grants and awards for writing - the vast majority of them want short stories and you'd be really good at it - plus you can make lots of money in prizes and possibly travel a bit, not to mention get published. I found it useful:<br /><br />http://www.pw.org/grants?sort=asc&order=Deadline&apage=*ladaisihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348955254558187266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3462459107482092565.post-75642429204403118222010-11-09T01:24:24.357-08:002010-11-09T01:24:24.357-08:00Great stuff - the opening para is masterly!

I was burgled once - though happily not murdered - and the offender spent an estimated 2 hours in the house, drank half a bottle of sherry, also ate cereal (at least two bowls, I reckoned), and stole my Hoover, some Belgian francs and the usual consumer electronic stuff. When he was caught, eight Hoovers were found in his house, so he was clearly quite houseproud himself, though he left mine in a bit of a state!Vanessahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16061118895694909457noreply@blogger.com
