Oh, good for you, Marlene! I'm a writer, too. Well, by profession, non-fiction and reference. But I've written poetry and short stories as well. I've only recently started to think about that other writing again, also. Good luck with your story, though the length almost sounds like a novella? :) I just love it when the inspiration hits me in the bathtub or in bed in the middle of the night, when I really don't want to go to my desk, haha.
