Although, I have no idea how you know how many words will evidently be in your book.<br />Nobody has ever reviewed what I write. Then again, that doesn't matter. The main thing is that I write for therapy and hope that some of what I write is a comfort to others.<br />Take care and happy writing.<br />Garyklahaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08613505424843475639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8699262959296846764.post-52716645813468024072012-06-07T18:00:16.238-04:002012-06-07T18:00:16.238-04:00Awesome Alex!
