After studying writing at UCLA and pouring my heart into my first novel, Something Radiates, but not finishing the revisions, I was about to give up. But a friend encouraged me to pick it up again, and my new critique group helped me get the book in shape. They cheered me on and kept me going. I'm so glad that they did.Brenda Marie Smithhttps://brendamariesmith.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7991050411828355350.post-1602920043553667102021-08-31T11:18:47.904-07:002021-08-31T11:18:47.904-07:00It's lovely to be back at Fabulous and Brunett...It's lovely to be back at Fabulous and Brunette.
