In fact, I will now stop surfing, feeling sorry for myself and go back to revising my book.

Udameng!

…but that doesn’t mean it’s not going to get finished.

Reminds me of what your friend had written over his desk: THIS IS THE WORST NOVEL EVER WRITTEN!

I’ll remember this as I continue to edit my novel that I also want to burn.

Hope all is well in House Bacigalupi. BTW, do you have a relative named John who writes for Tapeop magazine?
