A continued source of joy but extremely tiring!<br /><br />Alex- I agree with you.<br /><br />PK- while I don't support myself entirely by my writing, it does help to pay the bills.<br /><br />Sara, for me also. They just won't shut up!<br /><br />Deniz- I know what you mean.<br /><br />For all the things y'all mentioned, they are signs of a true writer!J.L.

Because the stories are screaming at me. S.P.
