It's all in the mind, you know. ~ Spike Milligan Wed Oct 06 03:31:25 +0000 2010

@Belle_Auteur - That guy only talks when you DM him. Can't see the fun in Tweeting if you don't talk to people. Wed Oct 06 03:30:55 +0000 2010

@Belle_Auteur - Nah. I'm too personable. I think! Wed Oct 06 03:29:13 +0000 2010

@Belle_Auteur - I tend to miss most RT's because they disappear before I see them: too much traffic. Wed Oct 06 03:28:12 +0000 2010

@Belle_Auteur - Nah. People know me by now. Don't they? Wed Oct 06 03:26:30 +0000 2010

Used sparingly, the semicolon emphasizes your crucial contrasts; used recklessly, it merely clutters your page. ~ Sheridan Baker Fri Sep 24 22:17:15 +0000 2010

A period is a stop sign. A semicolon is a rolling stop sign; a comma is merely an amber light. ~ Andrew Offutt Fri Sep 24 22:16:46 +0000 2010

@sabluvs2write - Your new novel, what's it about? Fri Sep 24 22:14:59 +0000 2010
