Thank you so much for the great questions you all shared with me yesterday. I will attack (and try to answer) them sporadically through the month. If you think off anything else, just ask.

I am taking a two-day break from my research to work on the outline for WIP2.... I have to see how much I know to figure out how much I don't know, if that makes any sense.

Today is Langston Hughes' birthday. When I was growing up, I had a poster in my room with a few lines from one of his poems, "Dreams".

It read:
"Hold fast to dreams
for if dreams die
life is a broken-winged bird
that cannot fly."

Words to live by.
