In some ways this is good, but with, "Who Killed Little Johnny Gill?" I really wanted to change the ending to the story, but was bound by the facts, and so had to stay on course.

I love to create well-rounded characters that are believable. I also like to evoke emotion in my readers, whether it be good or bad. If I have made my readers feel something, whether it be anger, joy or sadness, then I have done my job.(less)
