I just read your comment Barbara. I submitted my Draft 2 @ 9:57 pm. with my heart pounding while trying to beat the time. Time moves so fast when you're trying to slow it down.

There was one today. I did not attend, but I totally know the feeling of being lost. How far are you progressing on draft 2?
Cynthia Ramos Comment by Cynthia Ramos on September 24, 2008 at 2:36pm
I am totally lost in this course. When is the next study session of the fellows?

Sorry, I'm an idiot. Not Freemind.org, that's for meditation or something, mind-mapping software is at:
freemind.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Download -

FreeMind.org free software, easy to use. I like it. Hadn't really thought about using it for this, but I might try it.

We'll be okay. I was thinking of using some kind of concept map to map it out. Probably get a trial version of Inspiration software. Any ideas?

Dewds! I am soooo overwhelmed. I spent a sorta brainddead day yesterday but I know I really need to kickstart my butt and get with it. It still doesnt help that I am confused, though.

Glenn - you are correct. The location and / or institute name may also be fictituous (sp?).

Hang in there....

Well Shonda, it appears that the site is more for youth literature. . . Not the sort of adult dramatic fiction I'm looking for... Thanks for the link - it appears to be a fun spot for looking for books. Until that time. . . Earl J.

Got this off the ListServ: I'm not sure if this has been posted before but for those who don't remember (or can't remember)....the Internet Public Library has a great Pathfinder to help with those books that we just can't seem to recall. It's call...
