Good fun, but ridiculously hard for me to stop talking after just three minutes. Poor Elizabethtown. Got to rubbish it again the next day on The View. Truly hideous film. Ah yes, my TTV film slot.

Truly hideous film.

Sometimes I wonder how the old masters produced such long novels--and without the benefit of a computer or a delete key, but then I realize they also didn't have blogs to visit or maintain, email to answer, etc. And yet on the side of blogging, I find it loosens me up for my "real" writing. It also provides feedback as to what people respond to and what they don't. Anyway, just wanted to add my voice to the crowd: hope you don't quit!
