I feel like some of us write to be able to create a world we could or would never live in, but we forget to take ourselves in there with our characters. :) That's what sometimes makes really good writing really really hard/emotional to write - but so worth it. Thanks!

I remember having a 72 color Crayola box set as a kid and I made sure to use them all! Great post. Keep them coming.
