I love you!!! I'm sorry for your aches and pains (my constant companions too, though giving up gluten, dairy, yeast, etc has helped) - but not sorry you found companions in my characters. That is such an honor!!
And your writing is again so insightful and articulate, you make my prose sound better than it is just by the way you speak of it. THANK YOU!
And with @kaelci having published her NaNoWriMo #NovemberMadness #Freewrite novel, the heat is on: I've got to let go of the perfectionism, get the climax of the novel in order (fight! fight! kill!) and shore up the motivations and consequences. You inspire me @girlbeforemirror, and I cannot thank you enough for your kind words! Seriously, you make my writing sound so much better than I ever think it is!!
