Thank you all. Enjorous--as much as you wish to put into it. If you want to read for the shear joy ride, I'll be glad to send it. Just let me know when the tracks get bumpy or the wheels stick, or if you'd like the thrill to run longer here or there.
Apocrypha send me your e-mail via pm if it isn't on your profile? I'll check after posting this.
RobJN, don't you know it! Actually it's all charted out and Book II is 3/4 rough draft complete and outlined fully. Book II is outlined and I test drove a 1/4 of it to see how it flowed. There are five in total, BUT...
It's time to market this one and move on to something new. Several projects are trying to take roost in my head at once. One or a combination of several will pop out after New Year's. Surprisely, an SCA picture book is holding most of my attention. I've never tried one. This might be the time. I've also got a backlog of crafts and holiday gifts to crank out, and a new grand-child on the way. :-) This grandma is a very happy camper. In fact, my son and his wife are buying a home, closing Dec 13th!
Snowleopard and Oz---thank you!
