I'm glad you enjoyed my bit about Outlook's emotional state. LOL I figured fellow writers would empathize with its feeling about an empty composition area.

LOL Yes, in real life I expect Ellie would be a bit grueling to have as a friend. As here, she wouldn't hesitate to meddle in her friends lives if she thought it was the right thing to do, and would be unrepentant about it as well.

If you ever watched The West Wing, I think of Ellie as being a bit like Mandy, played by Moira Kelly.

Thanks so much for reading and commenting.
