Thanks all

I didn't advance on in the Gather contest but I never expected to. It was a test run to see if strangers would be interested in the novel and you know what, no one flamed me. I was amazed. It's a good feeling. I did better than I expected and THANK YOU to everyone who either voted for me or took the time to tell me what you thought of that chapter.

Now I feel confident enough to start wanting to try to write up the synopsis again and get back out there marketing

rearranging the friends list

some new ones added, some removed others still in a holding pattern. Basically if you're talking to me I added you. If you haven't, i removed you. Feel free to tell me why i should add you if i didn't or if you don't want removed. I'm easy that way
