Too bad she couldn't believe it herself. Your ability to create personalities, back stories always floors me... I tried to write to a recent challenge of yours that asked of us the same them (kind of) and mine is so so bad. I'd really like to be better at this sort of writing! BTW - I purchased this giclee canvas print - I adore the humor of it. <br /><br />Sorry it took SO LOOONG for me to visit and comment. I had computer issues - have been using my phone for a while... and my finger typing is not the greatest. <br /><br />Thanks for participating in my challenge Margarethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00007201357693227614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-21080455341995608222015-03-24T18:07:46.557-04:002015-03-24T18:07:46.557-04:00and... wtf?

One feels the melancholy of a soul that longs for the (hypothetical) glamor of creative release without the pain, inconvenience and tedium of real introspection, or say, work. Or something. Many laughs with this one, as it really flies to the bullseye on so many levels.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.com
