Thank you for not making the first part of the post the American elections... Congratulations on your degree... so much hard work. As for not pushing to publication, that's alright (not that you need anyone's permission). Sometimes writing the book is the destination and if you ever change your mind and are looking for a different destination (ie publication) that's okay too. In the meantime your manuscript is in a folder chilling out and perfectly happy.

Biggest congratulations Lana on the Masters! I am someone who knows how hard that path can be but once done I was pretty darned pleased.

I am unsure about how I feel about book-writing and getting to publishing stage..such a slog but also if you are so wanting to do this then I cannot see how you would not.

Nikki Gemmell wrote (I think I listened) about her somewhat fractured relationship with her late Mother and I found it compelling listening!

Congratulations Master Lana! What a massive achievement! If your manuscript does ever come out to play with a publisher I’d love to read it! Also, I’d love to be that stranger you don’t mind talking to, I feel like we have a one-sided friendship on this world-wide-web, you often come up in my conversations!

It's not as one-sided as you think, every time I read one of your comments I feel like I know you more xxx
