Vanessa,

Yes, I do understand now, and I will gladly continue working. I acknowledge how hard it is to plug away when the body doesn't want to do what the mind plans--and then the mind gets tired and frustrated too! I am pleased and proud to work with someone who is finding a way to continue the good work they were doing before their stroke. Recapturing what we were and accepting the new ways of accomplishing ourselves is a brave fight. Good for you.

I read what you wrote, maybe half a year ago, about some volunteer editors who started with you and then just disappeared. I won't do that. If I need to quit or slow down, I'll let you know.

I too have experienced frustrating abandonment and had authors who seemed to appreciate help, but then just ignored everything. (Not that every suggestion of mine is right for every author, but most of them are right for most.)  I don't like to "write only for the drawer" but if my help will be a help, I am very willing to continue.

I really enjoy your tales. And I'm sorry that SOL messed up your stories. I've generally been pleased, from my experience with SOL, with how they post things.

Erik
