I think it&#039;s safe to state that you have the gift.   We all procrastinate, but we still keep writing.  :)  Nice blog, I&#039;ll be back and I&#039;ll put you on my blog roll.</description>

		<description>Well kid,

You ought to be like my own son.  You seem a hell of a lot nicer than my own damn kids.  Hell, if I wasn&#039;t well off, those ungrateful brats would probably lock me in a home!

~Madge or Granny, whatever you prefer!</description>

		<description>SW,

Nothing shy of a great piece to read; moreover, I enjoyed it because it brings back so many of the little memories we often forget.  Remarkably what really caught my eye and heart is the notion of how one feels the first time they see their script in print and published. 

Additionally, I loved the bit about the proverbial Creative Writing course one negotiates whilst navigating every conceivable matter as a freshman in college. I wholeheartedly agree with your assessment by having to take the course so early in one&#039;s youngest period during the collegiate experience. Now I believe I have heard this assessment from everyone. It seems when we are seniors there is so much more to write about!

Finally, there is just an extra something when we read prose from those who love it and are constantly striving to be better.  Well done indeed and good form. With compliments,
