It's like starting it with But, Since, etc, but it's more formal.Michelle McLeanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08730366330276974943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451768142116083239.post-68163867636088606042009-08-02T16:35:55.084-06:002009-08-02T16:35:55.084-06:00Can't wait to check them out!Can't wait to check them out!Josiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891614490103342485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451768142116083239.post-74933006329411846052009-08-01T14:44:50.736-06:002009-08-01T14:44:50.736-06:00Thanks for the shout out and encouragement.

His eyes were downcast, intent on the climb. As he neared the crest he felt a surge of excitement. At last, he finally got to be the scout, to be the first civilized man to see a brand new part of the frontier!

Yeesh! Of course we're friends. If you weren't doing Google searches for certain pictures you would already know that.<br /><br />Thanks kindly for the blog link. As for the prompt, there's no way I could post it here. i don't think blogger will like it if I write a short fiction piece in your comment section. ;-)Michelle H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10117937124348728578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451768142116083239.post-43550613234487105952009-07-31T14:17:42.190-06:002009-07-31T14:17:42.190-06:00Hurray for community!

And also for cake and music!<br /><br />I hadn't seen a couple of the bloggers you mentioned; I certainly will check them out.<br /><br />Personally, I don't often use "however" statements, but I find them a lot when editing other people's work. Usually when I come across sentences that begin with "However," the sentence is just as good -- andChristopher Goodwinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00103268781860805681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8451768142116083239.post-66114448225806601572009-07-31T13:58:01.965-06:002009-07-31T13:58:01.965-06:00Eric, it's really sweet that you are promoting...Eric, it's really sweet that you are promoting fellow writers' blogs.
