    Your blog was diverse, interesting and well written. Why not a novel? You know chic-lit is in right now. Want it all? Write for the market. Want to waste it all? Keep a large blog.

    Bonjour. Je parle un tres mauvais anglais. Quel dommage. But, * Belle * is french name. Hemingway est un des ecrivains qui ont modele ma philosophie. Aussi, Morris West, Graham Green, Somerset Maugham etc … il reste le plaisir d’ adresser ce message a une prrsonne vivant de l’autre coté de la planète. Bien amicalement. R.N.
