But I'm glad I'm not alone. <BR/><BR/>Hmmm, I also make up excuses to miss social activities so I can stay home on a perfectly fine evening and write. When I could be somewhere else laughing, having fun, and eating good food. Go figure.<BR/><BR/>Great post! I'm still chuckling. :)Michelle D.

Forgot to tell you my weirdo writing habit:I ...Ack! Forgot to tell you my weirdo writing habit:<BR/><BR/>I keep a diary. Nothing weird about that. Except...every entry is written as myself, but with a different personality. "In character," so to speak. I rant, rave, wax about any topic that comes to mind. Kind of like a blog in my head, only on paper, that only I read. It helps me get inside my character's heads as the need arises.<BR/><BR/>Call in the men in white coats.<BR/><BR/>LizlizBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109811080172480857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9058478111996476699.post-28026804422687385942009-02-12T07:43:00.000-07:002009-02-12T07:43:00.000-07:00LOL LOL LOLGreat post!LizLOL LOL LOL<BR/><BR/>Great post!<BR/><BR/>LizlizBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06109811080172480857noreply@blogger.com
