Worried about you, EA. Give us a sign if you have a chance.Still alive. I know, I'm being a bad blogger-- but a good editor. Getting stuff done. Being my alter ego.
Thanks for the concern! And the patience!

Good to hear you're not dead! this lurker misses you funny insights :)
Whew! I was worried too. How would we ever know if something was seriously wrong? Glad everything's okay.
Are you really getting stuff done? Even my stuff?
Glad to hear you are happily editing.
I was a little worried about the Troll on the other comment thread, but I finally decided you were just letting things run their course.
I was afraid you had gone to Farmville.
And just WHO IS your alter ego? Does everybody actually know this and I'm just very out of it???
No, it's a secret. But it's no secret that I have one.
Must be something in the air. I'd like to say I don't even have time to eat.
But that's obviously not true.

I take the attitude that since I sometimes unintentionally offend and annoy people, my readers should have the right to unintentionally offend and annoy people, too.
Wait, Brian, does "Farmville" now mean something besides the Facebook game? I live in (one of many towns called) Farmville! :P I once had someone question my driver's license as ID because he didn't believe Farmville was a real place.
I was referring to the Facebook game. Many who dare to tread upon those dark furrows never return. LOL at the ID problem. :)
Missing your insights! Come back.
Glad to hear you're busy being a good editor. We'll just be here, patiently waiting for your next post.
I miss you, EA, but glad to know you're busy doing other important things rather than blogging for writers like me who should be busy writing the best book they can rather than using too much of their valuable 'spare' time reading your great posts.
PS Come back soon soon.
Well, if you are posting, you are alive!
Banned complain !! Complaining only causes life and mind become more severe. Enjoy the rhythm of the problems faced. no problem no life, no matter did not learn, so enjoy it :)
