Keep it. Cool is a purpose. Fun is a purpose.<br /><br />If it's there just because you were blathering to make word count, or typing while you think, pitch it.The Daring Novelisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01676188266569869059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3982837118358902227.post-43629650858076421092012-11-08T08:08:12.414-05:002012-11-08T08:08:12.414-05:00hehe.
