I'm glad you read the About Me page (I wasn't sure that anyone actually does that!) and could relate to it :) As for your suggestion: that's probably a valid point. I think I'll have to pay closer attention to getting rid of the excess in the future :) And yea, that was supposed to be heart, not heat.Nickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726678438584115062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775849231537687551.post-60720594477731009662011-10-20T11:55:54.277+13:002011-10-20T11:55:54.277+13:00I appreciate your passion for writing as in your b...I appreciate your passion for writing as in your blog description, and I relate to it entirely. You can tell from this piece that it is very well thought out and I enjoyed the suggestive aspect of the expositional points. This sentence though: - A boat that will take us across the sea into a new land.' seems superfluous to me, a tad obvious; the preceding sentence saying it all really. It's and ideal place for an expositional comment though, perhaps like 'Hope, new tomorrows or beginnings, or whatever. Just a suggestion. Also did you mean to say heat in the last sentence, or heart?) Very well done, and thank you for having found mine.Sam Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01042888599773098090noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5775849231537687551.post-10150074203532151422011-10-20T10:12:20.307+13:002011-10-20T10:12:20.307+13:00Beautiful writing :) Are you sure you are really a...Beautiful writing :) Are you sure you are really a teenager?
