Cool. <BR/><BR/>I wonder if some of the "delusional" options are possibilities that we fear within ourselves as writers. For example: I take such joy in writing even when it's hard to write, but I'm very good at putting it off because I'm not "inspired."<BR/><BR/>Like Kate, I'm looking for a third option. Even though my "score" came up as confident, I know I have delusional tendencies!A.
