I have to know where it's going and why before I commit to the long trek.Don't want to be struck for a plot twist at 3 a.m. Only bad things can happen. Write on computer, a Dell, I think, use what used to be called WordPerfect and is now something else.

“The worst moment was always taps. It didn鈥檛 matter if the bugler played it well or poorly, in tune or out; there was something in the mournful ache of the music, and how it spoke of men dying before their time for something they only vaguely understood and being only vaguely appreciated by the people on whose behalf they died, that made it hurt so much.”
― Stephen Hunter, Dirty White Boys
