I’ve been so busy this past year on unrelated things that I haven’t been able to “put pen to paper” at all. However, I am now seeing a cleared path through the forest and will–hopefully–be able to perform the necessary slash and burn surgery on my Alaska book. I am aiming for September. You will probably be too busy to even think about my manuscript then but I’ll be in touch anyway. Good luck on your last 60 pages and have a great spring and summer.
Fondly,
Barbara Lipton

It seems the more you go through a manuscript the more you feel like slashing and burning. That’s why I am grateful to have another pair of eyes I can trust.

So glad to know I’m not the only one. And yes, that’s exactly what separates the wo(men) from the girls/boys!

I like to think it’s how you separate the wo(men) from the girls/boys. Go, Judith! You’re in the last sixty.

Thanks, Susan. I should be wary to even confirm your kind comment in public. Let’s just say fingers crossed! I’ll keep you posted.
