I just got an e-mail asking for my opinion on a query. I'd like to help, but I'm not to the point where I've even researched how to write one. I think I'll just have to say, sorry, but I can't give you anything useful.
I gave her everything... jewels, beautiful dresses -- with beautiful girls in them.

No progress yesterday, I worked until 9:30pm and by the time I got home, had dinner, and fixed the VOIP adapter; there was no time left. Well, I wrote a couple of sentences after checking my e-mail.
I gave a shot at feedback on the query letter, but I made the caveat that I'm not the right person to ask. Guess I couldn't help giving my opinion.
Beta Exchange person one sent me an e-mail, maybe that'll start up again.
I haven't forgotten about you erika, I've been very pressed for time with work and other things like taxes. When I start getting time again, I'll be looking at it.

It's all right, not like anyone is waiting on it.

I actually made some progress on 55. Not working late really helps.

174,000 bytes of compressed draft-quality fiction is headed your way, Liese. Thanks.

Very little progress. A combination of working late and spending too much time examining my car stereo's wiring diagram.
