SO....
I am a bit obsessive, if you did not know. I also enjoy making other people obsessed so that I have someone to talk to beside forum lurkers (not that there is anything wrong with that!) I am making a list of all of the things that I enjoy and suggest to writers, singers, and people in general. This list will be on going, of course, because there are always new things to add.
