I'm torn between my selfishness in wanting another book out of you and my selfishness in wanting to use you as my web-crawler. ;)<BR/><BR/>Don't feel it's an all or nothing thing, and don't succumb to the "some one is wrong on my blog comments" trap. <BR/><BR/>Whatever time you have to spare is appreciated, but that family comes first and "the real work" comes way before this Blog is understood.<BR/><BR/>If I can step WAY over the line for just a moment, an effective time management strategy I've used before is "X hours a week" - whether it's reading comments, or writing alpha posts, or responding, or whatever, just give yourself one or two hours a week for "blog activities/KOS time/ect."<BR/><BR/>Not on a schedule or anything, just a stop watch next to the computer that ony gets re-set on Sunday. It hits one or two hours, or whatever, it's done untill next week.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, it's been pretty amazing getting to argue with one of the finest living authors in of my favorite genres.Jesternoreply@blogger.com
