I also wonder how much fulfillment reporters get from their work. They may be thinking the same thing about the rest of us!Keanan Brandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12638962927055276969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1656035854180770700.post-71719803212347651972009-02-16T06:38:00.000-06:002009-02-16T06:38:00.000-06:00Good points.

However, reading a good fiction story can get me thinking about things I may not have considered or just stay swirling around my brain for days as I ponder the characters, the writing, the points being made, what if scenarios and so forth. Both have their place, but a good work of fiction can be very rewarding to read or write, not to mention a much freer area to work within. I do love a good story.Eaglewinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17372974358045440796noreply@blogger.com
