Thanks, I plan to put it to good use! <br />For my new WIP I plan to talk to my cousins who have gone to college on sports scholarships because my current main character needs a scholarship. Getting first had experience type research is great for finding out those small details that you might not learn about in the conventional way. Just gotta think up some of those interview questions. :)Ansha Kotykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10845444642934306384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4926052979661322999.post-12734050124073492202010-06-30T07:32:26.809-04:002010-06-30T07:32:26.809-04:00Lisa - you're so sweet!
