Not. It goes to the past. Great wings, worth the time. I don't think you'll look back and regret time spent helping family even if it delays your publishing. Not even if you never get published. If you neglected your loved ones to write, you would regret it. I can't even manage to critique yet, but half our stuff is unpacked and put away, and I'll get back to writing later. Sher A.

I had plans about how much I'd have done by now, but no matter how hard I work, Life always has some exception that seems more important at the time. I need to figure out how to change that.
