I like the simplicity of what you wrote here. Good frame-work. Keep rolling with it. While some may gather in crowded rooms to shoot the bull and to find out what's buzzing, to me three is a crowd, unless you are talking about menage a trois. (blush). Let's not piddle around and get to the point. You sir, live high off the hog getting good reviews, and letting others open doors for you as a writer. I can't say as I could do nearly as well as you have done under the circumstances. Kudos.

Also, before I do the dishes, I wanted to expand on the idea of you being a household name around the den. Mostly my reputation fluctuates from review to review, but in the end I get to kick up my heels when I get a couple of good ones proclaiming my wisdom as a writer. Sometimes I get dangled before a rat or two like a piece of hard cheese, when I ruffle a few feathers. Usually, that is when my thinking cap goes on the fritz, and that is the thing that can really throw me for a loss. Then I remember those AD floozies flirting with their cheap literary pasties all a flutter trying to get me in a lather for a good review.

Truthfully, I really do not give two hoops and a holler about all of their style of writing, though sometimes it strikes me funny how if I'd have written it as a man, they would bust me one and call me unbalanced. So just give it to me straight, Lonnie, don't you feel like a matador in a bull pen when someone with a thin as a rake portfolio decides to warn YOU to watch YOUR step, when you take a gander to do something to spread your wings, rather than sit on your hands and let others compete for the applause?
Eventually you forget the naysayers and before you know it you are doing swell, getting a giant head-rush and you just roll with it. All of a sudden someone decides to give you an unkind response, while your guard is down, and you take the spear right in the proverbial butt.

Let's face it pal, they'll be out of their minds when you really tie in to your muse and play the devil's advocate about the things THEY write. There is nothin' to it, really, writing here, even if we do seem to lose touch with reality on occasion. I have to hand it to you, Lonnie, you really get the lead out, no pun intended, when you put pencil to paper, so right on!
