You're kindness makes me feel like it's all okay, that I can just take a deep breath and go on as I must and as I can. <br /><br />I'd love to see a hardcopy too - mostly because it would mean I'd finished the story and found a stopping spot.

I can't wait to be able to sit down and read the whole thing through from beginning to end. I want it printed so I can hold it in my hands. That'll be reason enough for another bottle of champagne, I think.
