Thanks for all y'all's support. I know that I can't listen to every critic. It's just that I'm scared of rejection. But really, even books that sell a million copies have their detractors, so not everyone is going to like everything.

Someone wrote that if Melville listened to critics, Moby Dick would have been a love story. I already thought it was.

I guess you've seen this news
about how this year's going to get even worse for hurricanes. Don't they say that every year? I'm a fan of hurricane hype, and even I think this is too much.

That said, Aug. 15- Sept. 15 is usually when the biggest ones hit where I am, so the Barometer Blog and I will be watching. The link to the NWS hurricane center is on the right.

I hope everyone has a splendid Wednesday.
