Helen M Hunt – and congratulations to you too!

Carol – 4!!!

David O’Connor Thompson – I’m terrified the ideas will stop. I’ve 10,000 words of novel 5 written and haven’t thought about novel 6 yet. What if I’ve no more ideas? ahhhh.

Rachel Green – thank you!

Lucy Diamond – it’s the ‘doing it’ before the kids finish school push :)
