Thanks again! As usual, your feedback is incredibly thoughtful and hugely appreciated. So, so encouraging.

I'm glad to have finally finished something a little bit longer, too -- I keep starting things, and then getting stuck. Um...last year, you offered to beta. I don't know if you're still interested in that, or if your schedule would permit it, but if so...maybe I could send you a piece of something I've been working on. It's incomplete and very rough, but maybe some feedback would help me jumpstart it. No pressure at all, though -- but if so, I'm at baudown1@yahoo.com
