In much of the 'old' romances I used to read, there was head-hopping everywhere. I thought that was the way to write. LOL Imagine my surprise when I received my first round of edits!

I do agree though, it's an "ah ha!" moment when it clicks into place and you realize it and wonder why the hell didn't I get this before?Gwenna Sebastianhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07654435745475704530noreply@blogger.com
