have you ever been there?
i want to say thanks for your kind words.
writing is done in solitude
and the doing of it is reward enough.
but hearing from a reader
is always very exciting,
and in the case of cyber responses mystifying
as well. what corner of the world do you inhabit?

thanks again

MATADOR will be running my second story: it's on nariman house in mumbai. what do you do when you are writing kind comments to authors? robert hi michelle:
