Thanks so much for your note, Angela. Actually, the manuscript I'm working on is about a research project that really is different from my story. For some reason, I needed to remind myself that all I need to do is take one step at a time to get the manuscript revised and published. I needed to give myself a pep talk and decided to share it in case it inspired someone else to hang in there. Sometimes, though, it feels like having a tiger by the tail. Best regards, barb
