Ta cauliflower, I am negotiating with my "editor" at the moment. Thirty cents per word is a bit steep. I need to sort of make a plan for it, a map if you will. Where it started, and where I am at when it finishes. I can see a lot of traveling involved to patch all the stories together. Maybe that is the way to do it, each chapter a short story of some incident.


Sorry to hear about your dad, but good on him for putting it down on paper.
