Hi Sage,

Deep and thoughtful note, thank you.

I have a friend who battled cancer, and as he says now many years later, kicked it's ass. He wrote a daily blog, sort of from the front lines in the battle, and it inspired many others to fight hard as well. He had bad days, but he never missed, and he says now the writing was the only thing that kept him sane.

Writing to me is a personal journey. I write because i love it, there is no other way to explain it to anyone. Even my long suffering wife wonders sometimes why I sit at my desk often creating stuff I never share with anyone? I write because I must and will write for as long as I can.

There is strength in your words Sage, and a spirit that will be hard to defeat. Keep writing, it seems to be who you are and do it simply because you love it.
