Think of how many lives were changed by reading Jane Eyre or P&P or a myriad others? Hold your head up, m'dear, you're doing wonderfully.<BR/><BR/>Also, stop by my blog today...

Absolutely nothing. <BR/><BR/>Good luck with your overflowing plate. Mine is relatively empty, just editing on one wip at the moment.
