    It’s been 11 years since I lived up there. I enjoyed reading the submissions, but was sad to see some still look for shock value to spark interest. Inspiration isn’t commercial, the muse doesn’t sell toothpaste… Ink stained fingers are not more often worred about carpal tunnel from the keyboard, but the process is still about the flow….
