A writer writes stories so they can embroider into the fabric their outlook, their point-of-view, their philosophy. <br /><br />Usually, writers discover and clarify just what it is that they believe and think as they draft. <br /><br />Great post.

Send me an email and fill me in with what's going on in your life! :)<br /><br />@Miles, "I wanted someone else to do the work for me." Oof, those words kick me in the gut. I have to fight that feeling everyday. <br /><br />@stiletto, still doing well, but I'll keep you all updated about Morakot victims.<br /><br />@MamaWood, thank you for your words, and I'm so glad there's something worth coming back to here - and that you do. I'm looking for those little things.<br /><br />@Floreta, i've never seen it. lol<br /><br />@Kylie, thanks for spending your (valuable) internet cafe time with me! :) It's a great book, isn't it?

Thank God that didn't work. The scripts they handed me I simply could not bring myself to play for very long. Like Saul's armor, they never fit.

Thank you for such inspiring posts and for making me "think" more. I have really come to realize that life is completely different when you take the time to just breathe. I think we as Americans really just run through life thinking about tomorrow and what we have to do, but when you just let life happen and don't rush it, it's much more enjoying. I hope all is well over there because I heard Morakot proved to be a big one. Enjoy the last of your days over there and have a safe trip home! :)Kindergarten Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02624284600385817045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2765137263817678796.post-58253512284605832142009-08-09T08:49:18.675-07:002009-08-09T08:49:18.675-07:00Chase,
