I would hate to have to give that up. As for the self-publishing, interesting you should mention that because just a year ago I was on a panel of authors talking to an audience of writers and one of the things I asked them was how badly did they want to be published. Because, if like you and I, they wanted it badly, they might have to do it themselves. And thank goodness, in this day and age, it is a lot easier to accomplish that than in Mark Twain's time. Sometimes that is part of the creative calling --figuring out ways to get around the established paths to recognition and success, and pioneering new paths and alternatives. So here is to doing it ourselves and succeeding! Dear B.A.G,

I need it...NOW! All those rewards you have suggested I give myself...have caused a tube around my middle that I am now forced to reckon with and remove. And it's NOT fun and now just when I need it most I cannot have my CHOCOLATE. I'm setting up for self publishing....so that's how badly I want it....the chocolate and the book. Great piece, dear one. love and hugs, B.A.G. Where’s my bottle? I need it…NOW!
