    Carolyn,

    You are too kind. Oh, wait – you’re a fiction writer!

    Perhaps from the front, but NOT from the back!

    Are YOU writing?

    Press on with your writing!

    Blessings, Andy

    Just because I write fiction doesn’t mean I ‘speak’ it! You’ll know when I’m writing fiction — it’ll be in New Times Roman, double spaced, paginated, and there will be a ‘by,’ before my name rather than ‘write on’ — plus I’d ask your opinion on it. 🙂

    Silly man!

    Write on!
    Carolyn
