    (yeah, that's what I was thinking of, too. I saw it once or was not so good.) Sounds like a racy play, but, on closer inspection, love between two actors. ...

    This techer will be the death of me, and he will enjoy killing me. With his Arial font, and his "proper headings, or else," he'll kill me.

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.
