Paul,

I don't want to see you give away the store. Before you post it in the public domain, shouldn't you be absolutely sure it carries whatever proper copyright or other proprietary rights it ought to have - it is your work product after all....

Don't get me wrong, we would love to read it, as soon as possible!!!

There would be something REALLY special, though for you, to be able to claim it is protected, SOLD and best of all published. Nothing validates a writer's claim better than that. It is so important.

Sounds like you are doing your dream! That is really great. I recall before your mentioning that you really like to write. This is really good. I like to write also, but am only good enough for private letters to people. What you are doing is a craft, with a lot to it. Don't sell yourself cheap.

But if it is a MS that is a first draft, needs proofreading, spell checking etc. or things, we can help you. hehehe "I'm not a doctor but I'll take a look"

I will leave it to someone else more computer savvy than me, to suggest how you could get it out here to them. You could maybe save privacy to suggest that you email it to people you trust here, PM you with their email, or something like that maybe.

It is something you'd like to share, newly birthed, and very good, but I would be a little wary about putting it out too freely, before you are sure you are protected in every way possible. Just my thought, though.

And merry Christmas morning to you also. No snow here, but tomorrow some is predicted, it is going to be sunny but very cold.
