I’m pretty used to it; it follows the trend of my motto “No is what you have. Yes is what you can get.” :-) <br /><br />Thanks for sharing the info about your editor. I’m glad to read that you are making good progress with that and you received positive validation. Do you mind sharing the name of your editor? You can send me a separate email or PM... Thanks! And, keep plugging away on this big project. I am surprised you estimate the final version to only be 60,000 words!

I do find blogging helps enormously as each post brings an endorsement and that helps boost my morale. Good luck with finishing the Memoir - ready for beta readers. Take care and stay safe ... while getting out into the great outdoors a bit during this time.
