I've noticed, from watching B5 & reading Rising Stars, that you tend to
write characters who have problems they need to overcome.  This is what
I like about your writing the most.  I've all ready mentioned my problem
with depression & how B5 helped me to deal with it (along with therapy,
of course) here.  I also had to deal with OCD (obsessive-compulsive
disorder) along with it, so I had a tough time.  It's nice to see
characters who also face real problems on television & in print.  So
thank you again!

Thanks...I don't believe in totally perfect people, we all have our flaws as
well as our virtues, and that's what makes us interesting, particularly from a
storytelling point of view.
