I dream of the day when I will be able to share it with someone else though-- preferably with the members of this forum (and that dream may or may not include myself being interviewed on TV by Conan O'Brien wherein I wear a stunning and colorful little dress and gorgeous heels).

I very much understand, Ali; except for the part about Conan O'Brien and wearing a "stunning and colorful little dress and gorgeous heels"...

Sometimes you have to put it away and let the book fester in the back of your mind; other times you have to work for hours on a sentence; still other times, you sit for hours writing and have no sense of time.

Good luck.
