I might continue the story. I'm surprised you and Kiri are asking about it. It's not hard to write. Then write more please. I would also like to read more of this story. Even if you only post it for us. Writing doesn't always have to mean something more than just being what it is. It doesn't have to be published or be part of some grand project. It doesn't have to be something you plan on doing for your entire life, and you don't have to think of yourself as a writer. (This is usually the part where I tell the story of this guy who was in one of my college classes. He used to walk around with a guitar permanently stuck to his back and so everyone called him a musician. I asked him once, just to start polite conversation, "So you're a musician?" And he said no with a shy smile. "I play music." His theory was that he didn't want to be the thing, if that makes sense. He didn't want to be a musician just a guy who plays music. But I won't tell you that story because I don't want to hijack your thread. ) So think of yourself however you want, but please keep writing! I'm horrible with thinking up questions, but if I could, I'd probably ask things that would be too personal anyway just to see if I could drag stories out of you. So I'm really glad that you went forward with this and let us see you a little bit more clearly in this way.

I always frown when yo say you're not a writer or something of the sort. I think it's because I see you as inspiration (You know the story) that I don't understand how you can't see just how amazing you are. Your favorite quote made me laugh like a crazy woman!
I too was beginning to question if I should go forward with my own interview so seeing you do it makes me feel better about it. I had so much to say but now I'm drawing up blanks. I shall return!

Of course not! If its my own fault. Just don't find myself to be very interesting. SB: What? The work that you and Gayl put together brought me out of the shadows! On top of that, both of you manage to keep your story going and support others while dealing with everything in RL! That is beyond amazing!

The mosaic shows the care you take with all your shots. This collection of shots were truly inspired. Bleak, stark, but rich and beautiful and dense. Well done. I have a question I have been dying to ask for close to 4 years... Are you and Gayl the same person? Come on, you can tell me... You know I am kidding... ;D Cheers mate~

Thank you, Drew.
Gayl and I definitely are two different people! That's so funny! I wish I had half her talent though.

I love that mosaic and it is just undeniable proof of your incredible vision and eye for detail. I am going to echo everyone else here and say that you, in fact are a wonderful WRITER . See, big bold letters, so you can't deny it. I'm glad that you posted this interview and let us see a little more, though the kind and supportive person you are shines through all the time. As I 've told you I wouldn't have posted a thing if it wasn't for your encouragement. I have only one question and it is a selfish one. Will we ever see Cruz Delgato again? He was the love of my sim life and I miss him terribly (though Rob has filled the void temporarily). I will admit to sneaking back to old Passages chapters and taking deep labored breaths as I look longingly at him. I hope he is not gone for good, but if he is I understand that it is for story purposes. *sniffs* Oh, I lied I have another question. For question #6, if you could have a romantic relationship with one of your charcters which one would it be?

Muzegoddess, your work is gorgeous! Both the writing and the visuals, so if I helped push to get you to post it, well that's definitely something I'm happy about.
Thank you so much for the compliments. I really like working with imagery and only wish I knew how to do more with photography. I'm going to shut up about the writing! But thank you.
I do need to do something with Cruz. If I ever get my game to stop crashing, I'll take another look at that boy. I never intended to do anything further with him; he really was there only for Rayne, but it doesn't mean he can't return in some way. It's interesting that you would like Cruz AND Rob since they are so different!
If I could have a romantic relationship with one of my characters, who would it be? Rafe and Cruz and Gabe and the rest of them are like brothers. Romance with one of Gayl's characters...Rob's pretty hot but my heart belongs to Cooper.
Thank you for taking the time to read this and to leave such a wonderful comment. Your support means a great deal to both of us: I hope you know that.

SB,
Thank you for sharing beautiful bits and peaces of yourself in this interview, and through the stories you and Gayl are writing as well.
I have always been intrigued by the sassy and pretty pairs of shoes you chose for the avatars. It is nice to get to know a bit more about the person who actually wears them.
I don't remember where I read about your saying one should bring extra pairs of shoes to a dance (relationship). Hope that you would find relief soon after taking off a pair that didn't fit you.

lepifera, thank you! Me and my shoes, I think I have more shoes than clothes. And I did say it's a good idea to bring more than one pair to a dance, just in case. Thank you so much for the lovely thought: the pair that didn't fit are no longer in my closet, and although they were definitely flashy and I'll miss them, it's better to admit that the purchase was a mistake and move on.
I hope to get the chance to read more of your work; I like your ideas.
