Second, in response to the comment from Paul Kelly, that is not true at all. JK Rowling, for example, was just a regular woman, not famous at all. She had to go through quite a few publishers, but eventually someone took her books, and now we have Harry Potter, the amazing series that we all know and love. She didn't need to add any "rude incidents" and she wasn't a celebrity or film star. If you write a good novel, you can get it published, and comments like that will just discourage people's creativity.That's just my two cents,Josh First of all, this is was a lot of help, thank you for writing it.

I have made good progress in the story, but I still think it's nice to know about drawing a line for the plot, and doing the info on characters, and secondary characters first, i'll do that when I get home, thanks for this info.

Raymonds story was really touching. I think it took her alot of courage for her to get up in front of around 100 people every hour and talk about her son.
