> And until then we get to make snarky comments about your work. When is the next review?

I still get the shakes when I hear "cute". LOL

I'm part of a critique group now. Other writes send me a chapter a week and I do the same for them. Then we discuss them on Friday nights. It's been very helpful.

> As has already been said, concentrate on the job in hand. Caption the Pic keeps us amused.

Thanks so much.

> ...Hey! Remember my commnets about "first draft"?.

Very true. You never actually did say crap. I suppose I'm just being hard on it.

> How are you getting on with the map, by the way?

Very helpful! Did I ever send you an email thanking for, btw? I really appreciate it.

I've gone back to the first book. I recieved some responces from a couple agents and I'm trying to repair it/edit it so that I can send it out.

Also, I'm trying to get a short story finished for an anthology.

So book two is currently on the shelf. But one day...

> That's exactly the position I am on with the Apostate Knight. Except the bit about writing it.

Really? What's Apostate Knight?

> When you are 60 or 80 your perspectives will have changed several times anyway. At least if you publish you will have accomplished something.

True.
