Is this my last post? Probably not.  Should it be my last? Probably.  I have been reading a bit more than writing lately.  This is a good writing exercise, so I may return.  Reading, and planning the plots of my bigger works have been much more fulfilling, though.  I now have almost as many unpublished drafts as actual posts on here, so that pretty much says it all. I recommend that you read The Picture of Dorian Gray.  It may be the best work of fiction I've ever read.
