ReplyDelete(Thoughts in parentheses.) Your 12 points hit the nail on the head. (That's metaphor - did I spell it right?) Thank you for helping me understand this curse (affliction - maybe I should use a Thesaurus - oh, hell, I'll just wing it) of being a writer. (I am not an alcoholic, but I need a drink.) Excellent job. (Maybe if I offer encouragement, somebody will notice this.)
