             He's finally home but very ill. He will be recovering for a good 4-6 weeks and then he has to start a rather difficult course of treatment for a chronic condition that could set him back another several months. Honestly, it's scary, but I will be here for him no matter what. Maybe not with money, but I'll be here.
             
             Seriously we are doomed. Even if he recovers, we could well lose everything. But somehow it doesn't matter now. Just getting him well matters.

       True, but it was hard to get there, I think the next part while a battle of its own, goes far smoother of a road than the rocky one of starting out with a blank canvas. You have details and pictures that tell more than thousands of words. Now it's time to smudge what isn't necessary and polish it up.

    thanks myownworld but are you a literary agent who will take a chance on my writings and find publishers who will also be willing to take a chance on my writings?

          afraid not to publishers...they want literary agents who have been around a lot and know who the story will be sent too kind of thing..

    Well, I showed up late, but at least I showed!
    I'm terribly, awfully, horribly happy for you!!!
    
    Yes, now the real work begins. LOL
    But persistence, my dear. Vigilance.
    
    I have enough rejection letters from publishers to wallpaper two or three of rooms. But I still have over 450 pieces of music in print!

       No, the question BNL, is whether or not you are going to design the cover. Create something bizzare and photograph it. That would be freaky-cool!
