There were a couple of comments to my last entry that I should respond to.

First, Sharon said:

I get inspired by you and others to just keep on going with the writing. Keep us posted!

Thanks, Sharon! The idea that I've inspired somebody gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling.

And Yankeebob's comments included:

Is this something you are planning to publish? I'd love to read it when it's done.

This is something I plan to submit for publication, provided I can get it "up to snuff" when it's done. I think this ms will be an easier sell than my first one, although I have a certain affection for my first story, and its characters, that will never go away. However, BMO has been a blast to write, with characters popping up out of nowhere (i.e. my thong-wearing old lady, who has turned into a real scene-stealer). Of course, I will keep you all updated with my progress, and you'll be among the first to know when I submit, and when I get "the call"!
