It was just reading this book made me think about chapter length in a whole new way.Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-19437381178388595602015-06-18T13:03:20.966-07:002015-06-18T13:03:20.966-07:00Oh, these are definitely dragging...
