Glad you're going to keep writing, because I certainly enjoy your tales. If I haven't already said, loved How Now Purple Cow, and I want to continue reading your books for a long time into the future.<br /><br />And you're so right--writing is hard! Hope to see you again down the road.M.M.

Focusing on my work helped to ease the pain.

Writing is almost ...I completely agree with Evelyn. Writing is almost like therapy. <br />For example, most of us feel murderous rage at one time or another but we know we can't act on those impulses. Well, we can but then we'd go to jail and Hell. So we don't. But, in our writing, we can kill off anyone we want to at any time - and suffer no consequences and, with any luck, we'll even get paid for it. It doesn't get much better than that. <br />Can you tell I have someone in particular in mind as I type this?

I just hope nobody ever finds this stuff 'cause I could regret having written it down. :) What am I saying? Half of it was in my last novel. Sorry, I got a little carried away.
