Not many people can write that way well. <strong>Wilson:</strong> Being able to pick at habits would make for some great observational humour and would definitely help creating memorable fiction characters as well. <strong>Emma:</strong> I think writers have benefited a lot from the growth of the Internet - we can break our isolation without having to break too far out of our writing mode. <strong>Lori:</strong> Thanks Lori!
