Thank you :) Sincerely. It felt good to get some of this off my chest, and reflect upon it. The novel is really difficult for me. I'd love to commit myself to it full-time, but I also need to keep finding as many odd jobs as possible to get by in the meantime.. and searching for those takes up almost as much time as doing them. But, I am confident that soon I will start shaping the life I want for myself.. I hope.

And again, thank you for your ongoing encouragement. It truly means a lot.
