such kind words! thanks everyone. It\'s really wonderful to hear, especially after the year+ I\'ve had of not being able to find a design job.The newsletter WAS going to be a regular thing, but the organization (that my parents are a part of) had some confusion going on with their current communications coordinator, and I haven\'t heard anything from them since about doing another one for themSpaceMonkey, I would definitely be interested in hearing more about this novel of yours, especially since it\'s your first. While I caution against editing as you go (as do many writers, and editors, and published authors), I am totally down for swapping excerpts and giving feedback--I don\'t share my writing often enough, and I would love a fresh set of eyes.Very glad I joined this site! Y\'all are awesome.
