Oops...Stephen King is TYPING not tying...See I can't stop myself from going back to edit. ....DAMN

As a fellow sucker...YES! This video lifted my spirits...My writing is reminding me a bit of the comedy skit where Stephen King is writing Pet Cemetery...He's tying at about 1000 words per minute and someone asks what it's about, and he has to look at the page he's typing, and says, "Hmmmm. It seems to be about a dog that dies..."

Again, thanks for the spirit lift...

My word count is only 7018 and I watched this as an excuse for procrastination. So back to work!
