I've shot a fully automatic machine gun on multiple occasions, and felt the invincible power you're speaking of. When I get a bad review, I'll just "mentally' shoot them down! <br /><br />Our city doesn't have the budget for fireworks, and private fireworks are illegal in Arizona. Too many wildfires. My son's loved going up to Flagstaff to watch their annual fireworks display, up until they had to quit with it got too dry and the fire hazard got too great. Sigh… Once, we were taking a boat across the San Diego Bay on the 4th, just at sunset, and both sides of the bay shot off fireworks, and the boat captain played "Proud to Be An American" by Lee Greenwood. It was one of the most beautiful 4th of July displays I've ever seen!

The nice thing about fireworks is that you CAN enjoy them from a distance. <br /><br />Just like with writing. Sometimes you need to step back a ways to see how much you've accomplished and developed as a writer. And sometimes, you just need to blow stuff up with an XRT.
