But I think I’ve found it! I really really think I’ve found the right spot to enter this story. The right setting, the right confrontation, the right characters in place. I’m LOVING it. It has a HOOK!!!!

83 sounds like a lucky. Seriously…
*wailing and gnashing of teeth* I am sooo curious! I can’t wait to read it, so this HAS to be it, because I’m impatient. Thus, the world revolves… *grin* Of course, I don’t have anything productive to say…
Yeaa!!! Glad you are making some positive progress!!
