Amy, From what I've been told King is not a person you would want to see
socially. Heavy metal is a perfect fit for him. My sympathies on the
headache. I prefer thinking through an idea, putting it down on paper,
(whoops, on the screen) and then editting my fiasco. That's the way it
looks after the first draft. So far I've had pretty good luck with that
sequence. Best, Judith
