This LJ is almost quite inactive but this post is for one of the good writers I know, who has been discouraged because of some..circumstances.

It's something I wrote when I stopped writing for about a little over a year (early 2009 to around early/mid 2010), then felt that I needed to go back. I hope this encourages you. Sometimes, as writers, ( Read more... )

I hope you're healing and resting fine, A_lou.

I'm pretty sure that Laurence/Lawrence from Little Women was what A_lou texted.
IF it is Mr. Lawrence...the old man...I really don't know. Maybe an professor. If he's good-looking enough, maybe the older Ethan Angstworth. [I saw very much admire that name.]
