In your dreams.<br /><br />David, I hope you're still plugging away at your novel. It's a big project, but I'm rooting for you!<br /><br />Diane, there is always hope.

And...base camp is often where one waits, for some time (as any good Sherpa will tell you) before the mountain can be challenged.<br /><br />Your time is coming, your energy is what will see you to the top. I'm very happy for you and wish you great success on this journey.<br /><br />Cheers, <a href="http://pearsonreport.ca" rel="nofollow">Jenny</a>Pearson Reporthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05422640826640133140noreply@blogger.com
