    YES! Although, really, they should leave the pen and paper there and have an open casket.

    I completely agree, I am very much the same way when it comes to writing. Although with me, it will probably be the keyboard. But same difference!

    Awesome quote. They'll have to rip the pen from my fingers as well, for I shall be writing poems and stories even in death...
