I must admit, I rather prefer having my face there, even if only for the sake of romanticism.J.B.

Writing this was a fun exercise in ‘how brief can I be without sacrificing the story.’<br /><br />Nevertheless, I think it’s fair to say that as writers, a good deal of our stories are simply embellishments of our own people and lives.J.B.

My life seems so dull and boring, although I know that I could write some very good stories out of it. Just not ready to do that yet.<br /><br />Glad my post could inspire you a little!
