Well, I'm learning English, both in school and on my own, from the fourth grade or so, and I have to be able to write papers in English for my work at the university, and on top of all that, I'm surrounded by English everywhere - very different from the level of your exposure to Hebrew. Oh, and I really don't know any Yiddish, too.
Sir? I think you have a problem with your brain being missing.

I just started writer's group..I'm thinking I'm the Pembleton, which is affirming in its own way. Got shitloads of stuff to beta, most of which might make Baby Jesus cry, but a few of the people might be real writers.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I want to do something unusual for me (in terms of my usual 'process' or whatever it's called) - go back and insert a few little bits in "Matty", pointing to echoes that later become louder.
If I ever get enough energy and three consecutive hours to do it, I will.
erika, writing that makes the baby Jesus cry is not your friend.

I won't judge just yet. But nor will I read the rhyming poem about writer's block.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara
Deb, that sounds interesting. I'd like to read it when you've had the chance to put them in.

deb, I'm actually in the middle of reading it pretty much right now, so if I can offer any help, I'd love to.

Woof. OK - I did some work yesterday, and added those bits. Want me to send, with explanations?
Actually, I'll just send. WIth explanations. Not awake yet.

HELP.
Any of my beloved beta readers around? I spurted and this is new and spooky (not ghosty, just spooky, I think) and I need a beta...

Deb, are you on AIM?
