Even a flashback is better than that (but not much, lol). <br /><br />Thanks, Angelica, for sharing. And Aimee, you have my dream job, wading through a slush pile every day. -- Maybe when I retire from five kids... ;)JEN Garretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11223454346963493011noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961445666519156260.post-44356563980047345622014-04-21T19:49:05.437-05:002014-04-21T19:49:05.437-05:00Yaay!

Sometimes I let it slip into my new writing too.

Someone else actually used the phrase "as you know" in their piece! Thanks for pointing this out--such a great example and way to improve craft.Karen McCoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02640324898284007337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6961445666519156260.post-70938831450781532022014-04-20T12:04:18.204-05:002014-04-20T12:04:18.204-05:00Ugh, I could pull wonderfully shameful examples of...Ugh, I could pull wonderfully shameful examples of this kind of dialogue out of my early writings. I think I've gotten better at avoiding this, but as you know, Aimee, 110% of writers can be delusional ;)Angelica R. Jacksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09448717076699744259noreply@blogger.com
