You need any help just drop me an email. I know how hard the end can be and I know the middle can be even worse! Tying it all together and introducing more complex sub-plots when you’re almost done would be enough to rival any sane individual!

Wishing you the very best and I know you’ll do fine (with or without any outside help). Yes, girlfriend, I’ve read your work and you’re just that good.

Sounds like it’s time for “White Writer, Black Heart” or “Heart of Darkness: A Writer’s Apocalypse.” Of course, I’m riffing on Peter Viertel’s “White Hunter, Black Heart,” his account of the grueling odyssey of his time with John Huston in Africa making “The African Queen.” The other reference is based on “Heart of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse” about the extreme trials and tribulations of Francis Coppola’s “Apocalypse Now.”

Naturally, I’m thinking that your trials with “The Courier” could make a novel in and of itself.

I applaud you for sticking with what started out as a “fun experiment.” That was probably akin to Michelangelo saying that he’d paint the Sistine Chapel because he wasn’t doing anything else at the moment.

Keep at it, W.J. Pretty soon, you’ll have a movie deal to rival Dan Brown and your initials will be up there with J.K. Rowling, C.S. Lewis, H.G. Wells and J.R.R. Tolkien, except you’ll be American and speak normally.
