psst...it was your post about fiction writing that brought it on. That and the annoying facebook lists...but anyway. It has been a long time since I sat down to do that and the list is incomplete, cu I saw somethings on your list that I forgot.

so much cake so little time said...

That's funny cause every time I post something about writing, I feel like no ones going to be interested b/c most people who read this aren't writers (I think). Glad to know it's evidently not boring.

And let's hope the lists never get completed. Otherwise I don't think we'd be creating.
