I know, and that chat seems a lifetime ago to me now! The book's not quite there yet but it is concrete and gets more real every day: it will definitely be born. I can do it! I believe in myself now. A great feeling. Thank you for your support back in the very beginning. You were one of the people who believed in me and my writing even when I didn't. Your encouragement helped me to get started on this project and I am soooo glad now that I did :) SC Hey Still Life!

Oh jb, I like that! Madness, genius, madness, genius... whatever it is, in me it's the touchstone of creativity and I wanna keep it alive! So I will: with Barbie talk, with images of finished books being read by happy readers, with whatever means I can muster... however crazy my methods may sometimes appear - they work! For me they work and keep me journeying, and that's all I need. Hug, SC You’re only given a little spark of madness.You mustn’t lose it.

The book will be widely read I am sure, and of course you will see it all over BAs and hug yourself knowing that you contributed to that persons life. (Wow big thought!) As for ego, you gotta believe in yourself, if you dont you wouldnt even dance tango because you would be a shredded mess on the side of the dance floor racked with self doubt and looking for someone to carry you out of the Milonga with a cold pack on your forehead. And remember 'You're only given a little spark of madness.You mustn't lose it.' LUVjb Hi Sal

Thank you for your continued support from London! Yes the big picture. The smiles on the faces of the people who I hope the book will help... smiles. They are worth writing for, working for, dreaming of... Yesterday I had a day full of other things but I will get on with Part 3 today. x SC Hi Arlene!

You hoping to give the book a test drive eh? Cool-i-o! I believe (and you know I do!) that with passion and energy anything is possible. It's holding on to that passion and energy that can sometimes be a little tricky for me. But that is ok because at last I realise that it may wax and wane a little, BUT as long as I do all the things I know work (mainly just doing the next one tiny step and filling my life with things I love), the passion and energy always returns. If you'd seen me the night I read the edit through... I got up from the sofa and said to Carlos, Oh God, I'm not sure I can do it, it's a whole new mountain. I felt weak. But I decided to wait, to do the things that bring me joy: talk to him, dance tango, sleep... and the next morning I'd bounced right back. I'll get there whatever happens, because I'll just keep going. And so will you. And one day we will chat about it over coffee, in Buenos Aires. How's about that!? SC mj!
