And why didn't they send out an email?<BR/><BR/>■Although the apostrophe is no longer required to form the plural of letters and numbers such as two Ph.D.s and the 1980s, use it when needed for clarity: four I’s and p’s and q’s.<BR/><BR/>So, I guess I could've used MOTAs. You wouldn't have been confused. Oh wait. Audience IS already plural. Drat. Plural must be MsOTA. Or just MOTA.

You don't know how many people have told me they've read my book at odd hours. I really like that, since the book begins with a letter written at 2:02 am. You know what else is great? I just ordered YOUR book today. Yup.

I just finished Letters from Rapunzel this morning (5:30 a.m.!!) and thought it was wonderful. That main character had me at hello. You captured her PERFECTLY. I was fascinated how you managed to tell a story thru letters and introspection like that. Loved the post office box twist. And the fairy tale stuff was so well done, humorous, perfect.<BR/><BR/>Congrats!<BR/>BarbaraBarbara O'Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11772206568826059623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-824466663015731028.post-71654938934574424262007-10-30T07:37:00.000-04:002007-10-30T07:37:00.000-04:00Sara, You were a wonderful MOTF ... your passion a...Sara, You were a wonderful MOTF ... your passion and your heart came through loud and clear.
