Five Star Friday's Edition #69

Writing is a cop-out. An excuse to live perpetually in fantasy land, where you can create, direct and watch the products of your own head. Very selfish.

    LOL...love what you had to say to Monica Dickens too funny...I got a lot of blogs to read on that list

    Blogger kathcom on September 10, 2009 9:58 AM  

    First I said to myself, "Who the hell is Monica Dickens?" Then I Googled her. The granddaughter of Charles and an author of many books. What a hypocrite. Unless she meant selfish in a good way. I can agree with that.
