Your first impulse is to share good news$$$ your second is to club someone with it.

I'm having a magenta day. Not just red$$$ but magenta!

But sorry is the Kool-Aid of human emotions. True sorrow is as rare as true love.

If you want to be a writer$$$ you must do two things above all others: read a lot and write a lot.
