This is all that is right with the world.

These brothers are my new obsession. I want to write a book about them. Desperately. I think I could write it. I read TONS of books on WWII veterans, which obviously gives me enough experience to write my own. I even got in touch with a publishing company, but then totally freaked out and haven't called them back, even though they call me several times a week.

Let's be honest, I want to write this for purely selfish reasons. I would get to sit there and listen to stories of four veterans. I would be amazed all the time. I would also be crying all the time. Just say "Dick Winters" or "Easy Company" or "Battle of the Bulge" to me and I start crying. Let me ask you experienced authors out there; is it absolutely necessary to see the words you are writing, or is excessive crying ok?
