This comment really made me smile, so thank you. I'm not a professional writer, but ... it's long been my dream. Comments like yours make be believe that it will become a reality. Of course, I need to exert the same level of discipline over my writing that I did here, which will be a challenge. However, it's one that I feel I'm ready for, and kind comments like this are in large part responsible for that feeling, so ... thanks again.
