If you haven't yet, check out the post below about the Paper War.
Thanks,

I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.
The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?
Have you tried a library display? If you want to see mine, come on over to
Make Mine Mystery on Monday.
Thanks,
Morgan
Hi Gang,
I've written a short Christmas story which is being featured at
Un:Bound today.
You may be able to relate to some of it.
I'd appreciate your going over to look and leave a comment.
Thanks,
Morgan

Thanks for befriending this fellow Five Star author!
I do have a lot of material to draw from, but now it's time to give back; therefore, let me know if you ever have any questions about alcoholism, drug abuse and/or addiction, as well as recovery.
It's often like the family member who had dwarfism. The rest of the concerned family members bought books, searched the Internet, ask questions--did everything they could to find out all they could about dwarfism. More often than not, when a family member comes down with addiction, the concerned family members either condemn, chastise, denigrate, demoralize, make excuses for, or deny the problem. Rarely do they do what the example family above did to find out all they could about addiction or substance abuse.
Glad to have you as a friend, Sarah!
Thanks for adding me as a friend. I liked your profession. My cowriter, Judith, was an engineer in the Arctic.
