    Thanks! I play a lot of real time strategies, so I think in battle metaphors sometimes.

    I completely understand. Luckily for you, though, yours make sense to others. Mine only make sense to me.

    I'm sure someone gets your metaphors.

    Haha, I love this! I'm impressed that you both can still write creatively. I fear I will never be able to again. Either that or I still need a very long respite from writing...
