[stylist] What comes first?...the story or the call forsubmission

[Shelley J. Alongi]

HI Amy,I'm glad you joined the list. I've been meaning to tell you that the 
information gleaned from your article you submitted for S&S about bringing 
readers to their senses has helped to markedly improve my writing. The 
sensory details add more shape and color to the characters and their 
surroundings as well as the reactions to their dialog and ideas. I've been 
meaning to make these comments to you, now I'm doing it publicly.
