One of my co-workers, a salt of the earth, no nonsense type guy who reminds me of my Grandpa Stan, asked me yesterday why I wasn’t writing full time. I told him, “I wish.” We had a conversation about writing and how I took life events and transformed them into stories. During our chat, he told me that if anyone could be successful at writing, he thought I could. It was one of the sweetest things I had ever heard. The comment made me beam inside, even more so because my co-worker wouldn’t BS me about something like that.

He must’ve gotten an insider preliminary edition of your book eh. : )
And I certainly agree with him. You’re so versitile you could easily write freelance as well. Seems like I have to work really hard to construct, but for some reason your sentencing seems to just pour off the page–each one complimentary and essential to the next.
(and I’m not bsn’ either..)

Well, now you’ve got me beaming, LK. Thanks for the compliment – and for not BS-ing me!
