I've been thinking about this for a while and have decided to take the plunge. The plunge is I'm gonna stay off the boards for a while and devote my time to writing and another project near and dear to my heart.

I've got two writing projects I want to work on and another I'll be telling ya'll about later when I'm more prepared. In parting, I'd like to say this is one of the most constructive, helpful boards I've been to. Even when things get a little heated we remain civil and I think thats says alot for the group that assembles here. Thank you all for the good advice and stimulating discussions.

peace john

A hiatus is OK. Abandonment is unacceptable. We'll be looking for you a bit in the future. Meanwhile, if you have any trouble or moments of insecurity, you have a plethora of fine proofreaders and editors instantly available. GL!

I also understand and wish you the greatest success in whatever you must do. With much sorrow and admiration, I bid you farewell and wait for the day we can speak again. Your Friend, Joel
