In a message dated 98-03-25 05:03:03 EST, you write: << I wake up every morning with a pain in my chest - but does it have to mean I'm a writer - couldn't it be indigestion, Clinical Depression, Puberty Blues or the possibility that I was silently stabbed during the night? >> I think you're referring to my comments here. I meant that if you stop writing, and wake up with a pain in your chest every day, you are probably a writer. Not that there is some sort of gastrointestinal hair shirt associated with being an artist. I've enjoyed most of the postings in this thread. Thanks. Robert
