Each skull contains a brain subdivided. One part of it counts. One part of it beats the heart. One part of it speaks. One part of it writes. One part of it listens. Communication between the parts is ... limited. Each sub-brain loves i

I don't agree with all you say but you do write well. And I don't read to be agreed with; I read to learn the errors of my way. There are many many writer groups and they are cheap to join. The trick to writing is to write, whic
