Every one of the Word Whores ...Great post Kerry. <br /><br />Every one of the Word Whores posts this week made me think of the movie Sky High - where the super kids go and those kids whose powers aren't quite up to snuff get shunted off as 'hero support', aka sidekicks. In the end, though, it's the sidekicks who save the day. <br /><br />You gals have given me a lot to think about as I rewrite this WIP. Thanks. =o)B.E.
