HI, R,
I've been kinda poopy about posting. Sorry.
I've finished the third??? draft of my novel. I still don't have a title I'm happy with. Now I get the annoying job of looking for typos, boring parts, and other mistakes. No matter how hard I try, I can't find all the grammar problems and misspellings.
I too have a yuck list which includes taxes and other things. It amazes me how much time I have, and how my yuck list is still long.
I'll try to write a happier post next time.
Good wishes.
D
