It gets my little gray cells buzzing and bumping into each other, and, yeah, it feels good. Until I disgorge from my subconscioius a story that I can believe in and run with, publishing is not a concern. But I live in the hope that my story will come.Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03978983756500686364noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186000168502512996.post-56586170042985701612010-02-24T00:08:01.448-05:002010-02-24T00:08:01.448-05:00You're lucky, Amanda.

But I agree that living in their world is an experience I would not want to give up . . . so I write!Carol L.Wrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08502530940432481890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2186000168502512996.post-47287432221564452662010-02-23T23:46:31.652-05:002010-02-23T23:46:31.652-05:00Ah, staying sane in an insane world is certainly p...Ah, staying sane in an insane world is certainly preferable to holding your breath!Emily P.

They are my favorite sort of people, lol. I write because it's the only way I know to remain sane in this insane world :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05002846349148549667noreply@blogger.com
