Vervain Words and Perpetual Bliss

Have been feeling achingly empty lately...and just realized today that the only thing that takes away the pain is...writing.  I did not want to start working on Questmyre Book 2 "The Land of Mists & Mirrors" until I had a clear indication that Book 1 was a success...but the story is calling to me and as I write..each word is like vervain...transforming the hurt into blissful numbness....
