But dang it if I don't keep strapping on the FMP's and stubbornly moving forward. Let me tell you this; since the first time I read your writing, you made me FEEL. That is my bar... a writer has to have the power to engage my heart and you got the power, love.

I love to write and while there are days when I can't face the computer or would like to strangle my protagonist, I know they won't last.
