Hi, True,

It's good to hear from you. How do you like the new Nanowrimo format? I'm getting used to it now, but it threw me some curves at first.

R and I are still here and still stepping. R, I like your post. "A smaller sacrifice, or a more modest goal, or being less severe with yourself can work fine, as long as your dedication is honest." It's the only way we get anywhere.

Me. I'm impatient. My proofs didn't come yesterday. Note - these are the proofs of "Through Unfamiliar Waters," the book I've been working on forever. And I'm still working on rewriting the prequel. it's better, but I don't think it will ever be good. I'll have to settle for a more modest goal. I want so badly to say that "Through Unfamiliar Waters" is available on Amazon, and I can't because it isn't.
Onward to the rewrite. Good luck and good wishes to all of us.
