It's not every day...
…that you inspire someone. I touched on this before. But it makes me so happy, I just had to bring it up again.
Just last week, out of the blue, a friend of mine sent me an email that my writing has inspired him to write himself. How cool is that?! Me, my writing. Who woulda thought?
Now, it’s not like he’s a stranger to writing or anything, but hey, I’ll take any...
