At times, I might complain about something in the news or puzzle over some event or people's rudeness, but overall I try to find something interesting/inspiring to write about.<br /><br />Life is complex; writers have different opinions and personalities. Sometimes I try to go for humor, sometimes I'm feeling very serious or sentimental.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04505675063769786300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5429542410238239360.post-40656376033167542942010-02-18T09:30:59.820-05:002010-02-18T09:30:59.820-05:00Hi Kellie,
