Writers are gods. Creating worlds. Breathing life into characters. Killing them off when we decide their time is up. Is it any wonder, then, that some of the writers I meet have a pride the size of New York City?
A large ego, however, is usually a sign of a writer who's not been at it too long. Eventually, one of two things will happen. Either they'll take enough hits to get whacked down to size, which is a good and necessary process.
Or they'll quit. Writing, that is. Their pride will continue to balloon.
Writing has a way of sifting through a person, paring them down to the barest essence. A true author at heart not only lives through the experience, but grows in character...just like one of the fictional beings they create.
Who doesn't think God has a sense of humor?

Oh, I definitely believe God has a sense of humor. He also has a cut off point, where He says ENOUGH! A simple story can start off with some light,funny scenes, but then can take a turn for the worst and get into graphic dark humor. God is all about Light Humor....not Dark Humor.
So, how's your computer?
Great point. God does have a cut off point, so we should seek His grace while grace can still be found, eh?
Got my computer back yesterday. $209 and it seems to be working just fine. Plus, I didn't lose anything. Thanks be to God!
Great news about your computer! Now, just keep those liquids away from it. :)
I'm taking those words of wisdom to heart, girlfriend!
