Thank you, Timothy--I appreciate your kind words! Actually, I do like to write; I majored in journalism at school (even though I'm disgusted by what passes for journalism these days. A lot of today's so-called journalists overtly attempt to manipulate public opinion by editorializing way too much instead of simply reporting the news like they should).
I'm one who still likes to write and mail letters to friends and family; it's therapeutic for me--kind of like keeping a journal. My e-mails tend to destroy all e-mail protocols and conventions--mine are usually too detailed and long. :o :P I don't know if I would ever have the patience to write novels. I have a couple of really good story ideas I believe would make decent books, though. Most of the things I write--like the story in this thread--are just off-the-cuff, sometimes quirky little things.
