We'll be looking forward to your next abrasive work of friction once you're done grinding it out. Hopefully it won't rub anyone the wrong way..
Ahhh, I'm so punny!
I hope you have more success this year Andy. I know that I don't have the tenacity required to keep picking up the pencil (keyboard) and I'm always impressed that you keep going. Good luck!
P.S. Do you ever try to get any of your short stories published?
