CANCER SURVIVORS CHECK-IN PRACTICE

July 12, 2017 by

  One thing bloggers do is read other blogs. It’s not a competitive thing. For some. I read for information, writing style, writers voice. The usuals. As the writer on a blog with over fifteen hundred posts, I’ve got a handle on the word part. Still working on word organization. Who isn’t. It’s a humbling […]
