Well, I'm not an overly artistic person, so it's reassuring to know that I
can do SOMETHING semi-artistic and have people say it looks good.
Nah.. not too scary. Unlike .space - I mean spamcake, Muffin head's.. *cringes*

I think I understand completely. I generally post comments about how I'd say
them to someone face to face. I have the utmost admiration for anyone that
and write and get the humor to blend with the serious - it makes for a
wonderful story.
The one that I think really started getting me back into the mood for
building a castle theme and such was from a few years ago called Green
Rider, by Kristen Britain.

I don't normally go for fantasy books (being a die hard Gibson fan and of
all things "Techie"), but this one just blew me away. For an author's first
book it is just awesome. Highly recommended. I have say, in retrospect her
"bad guy" had a lot of influence on the creation of the one in my current story.

Well, I don't listen to Country for the most part. Achey Breaky Heart about
ruined it for me. The only artist that I DO listen to is Randy Travis. :)
