@Mamapolo2016 Haha. I hear that. But just for the joke... What about your name? 🙃

@kismet Is my name worth dying for?

No. It's not even really my name. My last name is from my ex-husband's family and my first name was given to me by parents who loved me and whom I loved, but the word "tree" is probably not how redwoods and aspens think of themselves. It's just what we call trees.

There are a few things worth dying for and fewer still worth killing for, but not my writing and not my name.

I feel like a (hopeless) beauty pageant contestant.

@Mamapolo2016 Well, your writing is certainly worth reading. That struck a chord. Thank you for sharing!
