Write by hand? You’re kidding right? People still do that sort of thing??

11) Do you save everything you write?

Duh! :)

When I remember them clearly enough. Ideas abound in our dreams and pre-dreams.

23) Do you favor happy endings?

of course - I write PBs! :)

24) Are you concerned with spelling and grammar as you write?

It's a large part of who I am. It's hard to turn the English teacher off.

25) Does music help you write?

No - I find it distracting

26) Quote something you've written. Whatever pops in your head.

The skin we’re in it limits us
It keeps us bound to earth and dust
We can’t step out of bones and skin
To reach beyond the space we’re in
We’re meant to place our hope and trust
In One who loves each one of us

In prayers is where God wants to hear
Of all the things we need down here
Don’t be afraid to turn His way
And pray to God with love today
For peace, for health, for family
For courage, friends, or to be free

Send loving thoughts and pleas for help
To those too far to reach yourself
The skin we’re in can’t stretch as far
As God’s embrace, His loving arms
He reaches out to those in need
When prayers request He intercede
