I'm the one who doesn't send them off to be considered. I'm the one who has a great idea, but doesn't take the time to sit down in front of my laptop to put it "on paper." Hmmm....

I just wonder what's wrong with my own stuff. I find it perfectly adequate.<br /><br />So...I submit here and there. In a workmanlike manner, careful to follow the guidelines, making sure not to rock the boat. Which is a killer. Because the joy I get out of writing is in being just a little bit crazy.
