> Don't you mourn the end of a book? Sometimes I don't want to read the last few pages because it will be over, I will be out of my characters' lives forever. I start a couple books at a time so that, when I finish one, I am already in the other life.I COULD NOT STAND TO FINISH LONESOME DOVE. I WAS SO IN LOVE WITH GUS THAT MY HORMONES WERE OFF THE CHART!! And "Terms of Endearment" affected me that way. "The World According to Garp" and then John Irving just kept writing them for awhile and I was in hog heaven! Read "The Method Man" by him. One of his earliest and I think some of his best work!

> I'll have to check out this writing book. I have 100 pages of a novel lying here. I started it in '90, and the AIDS subplot is no longer relevant. I hate that!I've been working on a book about Indian rodeo for over 10 years. Broke my ankle, had a mastectomy and then got rocky mountain spotted tick fever....sidetracked a few times! Oh, yes and I'm a depressed sister!

> Maryland lost to Michigan last night. We are seriously depressed, though two years in a row as champ would seem like too much! : )>Please don't hate me but I picked Michigan....Our Big 12 has three teams that could possibly go to the final four! How's that for Southern kickass ballplaying??????? :-))I'm going over to my daughter's house to watch Kansas play Arizona. I pick Kansas.
