Thanks John....I've changed direction to write my first book..it's hard work...2000 words a day for fifty days writing spontaneously..then numerous rewrites ..now on my eighth draft ... luckily have the support of a published author friend... I'll let you know if I manage to get published..take care and keep writing!...Pete.
