People don't create just for the sake of attention/joy of others. <BR/>If the creator becomes bored with the same-old, it's his or her choice to expand/explore other areas. In fact, not only does it benefit their interest, but it exercises and maintains skill so they CAN keep a distinct voice to keep you (the reader) interested.<BR/><BR/>Props to the expanse in style, bbc. I've been reading for a looong, long while now. And I'm glad to see you exercising your writing skills. ... But in the same breath, I do appreciate your "normal" voice just a tad more. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6815729.post-83366519998951948102007-11-02T02:57:00.000-04:002007-11-02T02:57:00.000-04:00Hey, also work in retail, and I feel your pain.
