You are an inspiration to me. You really are. Lately I have - well, I don't like to say, “given up,” but, I mean, I don't even write ABOUT writing any more. I've slid very far back down the slope indeed, to where practicing the craft of writing is not fun any more. If I did it more, I'd regain the skill to make practicing fun again, but nowadays, it's just maddeningly difficult and I have other priorities.

You show me that it's still a Doable Thing - that winners never quit. Thank you.
