It's reassuring to read your blog and Script Secrets. You are optimistic and genially self-deprecating and you do not write about desperation and self-imposed pressure to the point of insanity, either because you don't feel it, or you do and don't want to drag your readers down by writing about it--either way the reader benefits. And I've been meaning to mention for some months now that your idea of killing a dozen vampires with a picket fence is ultra.
