		<description>Yup.

Sometimes, I&#039;m certain that the toughest work a writer can do is to stop.

(And that, at least, allows me to feel sympathy for the Rolling Stones putting out one more crap album...even if it does suck. It is, after all, what they do...and what they&#039;ve always done.)

If it guides you, follow it. If it guides you to work at it, follow that, too. There&#039;s no pay in that gig above what you put into it in the first place. That can be invaluable, but it doesn&#039;t always pay the rent.

I, personally, am glad to hear that there are still time bombs going off in your vicinity.
