Thanks, CU. I'd seen that, but not until after I'd found out something I needed to know asap. Will keep it in mind, though.

Ebbie, that sounds great!

Just got over the 20,000 words line. Still behind a tad, say 5,000 words, but I will make it, I think. Life has been throwing up some nasty curves balls, but if I can snatch an hour or two here and there, I will get it done.

Chris Baty's pep talk today was neat. I threw in a monkey wrench in my novel I didn't even know was going to happen until after I read his email.
