I agree - we must cope so having, as you call it, Full Blast Emotion, would be exhausting and eventually fatal for many of us.<br /><br />xolisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-35632163982195036962012-06-18T09:50:01.863-04:002012-06-18T09:50:01.863-04:00That's always been my sense, too, Bill.That's always been my sense, too, Bill.lisahgoldenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11158660223296807317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-42866826024251226602012-06-18T09:16:36.773-04:002012-06-18T09:16:36.773-04:00I love the pinhole reference.I love the pinhole reference.Nick Dvoracekhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14992589820467485368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3221819058568684886.post-88501627734897234552012-06-16T15:52:48.529-04:002012-06-16T15:52:48.529-04:00I read somewhere recently that to write a successf...I read somewhere recently that to write a successful novel a writer first has to write a million words; I'm pretty sure you passed that point by 2007 at the latest.
