Grammar has never been my strong point, and I fear that it has become worse with age.<br /><br />I had to go back to find the quote, but while I did make a mistake in the quotation it was not the one you noticed.

I'd forgotten that about myself."<br /><br />Laurell Hamilton<br /><br />I know this is rather silly. I just have to know if that was the original, or a typo. Your writing is so smooth. Colorful but not flowery. Ride on. Write on.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
