    You're not alone. It's like this never-ending dark hole that you can get lost in if you're alone and you think about it too much. I've found that conversing and ...

    When I can't find a matching pair of socks, I wear different socks on each foot. I should get myself a pair of footy pajamas.

Way, way back in the 1988 Presidential election, then Vice President George H W Bush had a phrase he liked to use: "A Thousand Points of Light." It refers to the idea that a community is made up of people who contribute in a thousand, different small ways, but with each helping to illuminate their community. It's a phrase I think about a lot when it comes to YWS. Looking forward, the site will continue to change and grow, but it will always remain a community dedicated to promoting creative writing as a favorite pastime.
