You are a devilish one when it comes to childrens' literature, which leads me to suspect that your parents loved you all the more for it. How do they feel about your writing? Do you share it with them? If so, have they encouraged or otherwise affected your writing in any definable way?
You have posted many pieces here which I have not commented on, and there is a reason for this. I know how you feel about my work and I am deeply grateful, for it is your commenting, more than my ability, that has made my work shine in a way that it never has before. There are others here, and they will be identified shortly. But you validate me. Do you understand that?
Ok, we just had a party here and I have been drinking White Russians. I'd better shut up before I really make a fool of myself.
