UPDATE: As a medical student, I am now simply swamped with work. I still write with as much ardour as ever; the only difference is that I publish less. I also have much less time to read, review, and respond to other writers' work. However, your comments are always welcome and cherished, if you can stand waiting so long for me to get back to you. ;) Peace, and may you all follow your dreams.
