Forgive me if I am very impertinent, I did notice that you posted a different post barely half an hour after this one. So did the Internet get re-opened again pretty quick?
Um, that WAS impertinent. Just kidding.
But this is a very good reminder. I'd better open Microsoft Word myself. I haven't opened it to write something for more than a month. Talking about writing does not a writer make.

A fellow writer,
