Hi, Simon,

Thanks for posting. The answer is YES!!! All the time. But it's a good stress, the kind that helps me to concentrate and get past any serious problems. However, I plan my stories pretty thoroughly, so I don't often come up against any real stumbling blocks. But when I do -- I wouldn't want to live with me. I can get pretty cranky! Fortunately, it passes, and I become my old sensible self very quickly.

Cheers yourself! -----Gordon Korman-----
