Penny Penniman!

You are right!You know,there is a saying that ''a friend in need is a friend indeed'',so yes,if they left you when you needed them then they weren't really friends.

And keep on writing!I'm not only talking about the Mika story that you give us,which i say on more time,i LOVE it!

Generally,keep writing novels,stories,i don't know.You are really talented!You could make a living out of it!

Wish you all the best!
