It was the best of times, it was the worst of times ~ Charles Dickens

In the final weeks of 2009, I wrote a blog post about my desire to make 2010 the year that I "burst out of my egg and shatter the shell." The very first day of 2010 was a burst and shatter kind of day. In a sense, I ate those words and found them difficult to swallow. At this point, good news is an ice cube in a raging bonfire. The cruel irony is that with pen in hand, I'm always eager to escape to my writing world--even if it is a burst and shatter world too.
