I'm impressed. I've been wanting to comment on this one for quite a while, never had time. I understand the feeling you talk about with being blocked; it's like erectile dysfunction for writers!
Not to embarrass you, but this is beautiful, man. So opposite your edgy image!
I'm impressed with the sensitivity; I'm impressed with how you managed to make it sweet without being sappy; I'm impressed with the use of language. I'm...well, damn, I'm impressed!
Did you get the impression that I'm impressed?
Nice work, Tim - and nice way to work out of writer's block.
