Hi Jim;
I know exactly how you feel. It's my motivation for me too. I think sometimes I get burned out, so I usually wait it out and all of a sudden I am back. Meanwhile I walk around and feel bad about it. So it's nice to be able to come here and spill! (still not getting the feeling for the next book/part of Nikos story....sigh, but I will come sooner or later)
Thanks for putting this forum up.
Hugs

Why didn't you tell me kissing you was a felony?
I agree 100% with all you have said Roland. This is such a great site to read, write and learn. The friends I have formed are wonderful too. People come and go here like anywhere, on line and in real life. On this site, we have people like ourselves that have a love of writing, so yes we do need to support them with our votes and comments. It encourages us to keep on improving. So I will take the hint and do way better then I have been. Have to stop being lazy and make a habit of getting here and putting my two cents in.
Thanks for the kick in the pants my friend!
hugs
