Dear Incorruptibili,

As you know, I have engaged A&M Publishers and I have now received the first "chunk" (Tim Schulte's term) of my novel--filled with suggestions for improvements.  I am eager to now re-read my own work the way my own students re-read their papers once I've graded them:  As if they (I) didn't write them.   After I took a peak at the suggestions, I wrote to Tim that I'd look at them in earnest after I'd cried a bit and then put my "big boy" pants back on.  My big boy pants are now secured.  I'm very excited for this next stage and now see that the light at the end of the tunnel is in sight.  Thank you, as always, for your patience.  I'm working as fast as I can.
