I can "find" ideas better and flesh them out whereas before I wrote it never even materialized in my brain.Lydia Kanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00484415427764822386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6320269312957801390.post-63042702229966290852010-04-15T19:33:16.820-07:002010-04-15T19:33:16.820-07:00Great post!

My drafting muscles aren't fast enough to keep up! But I have enough solid ideas to last me a career, if I were to pace them right, and that's amazing to me. (Granted, I'd rather create even more, better ideas and have a RIDICULOUS career, hahaha, but I'll worry about that later.)<br /><br />Yay for good ideas!Kristanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04771013578685419826noreply@blogger.com
