Five Star Friday: Edition #53
Friday, May 8, 2009 Coleridge was a drug addict. Poe was an alcoholic. Marlowe was killed by a man whom he was treacherously trying to stab. Pope took money to keep a woman's name out of a satire then wrote a piece so that she could still be recognized anyhow. Chatterton killed himself. Byron was accused of incest. Do you still want to a writer--and if so, why?
— Bennett Cerf

Many thanks for mentioning Lone Star Concerto. I'm honored - and, for one of the few times in my life, speechless....
Thank you for including me in such awesome company, and for inspiring me again to keep writing about the stuff I don't really want to deal with...The quote you kicked it off with resonates so much here.
Thank you, Schmutzie. :)
