> Ritch: I totally agree. Right now I'm e.mailing with a "famous" sportswriter from the Washington Post and he's been more help than anyone else with the book I'm working on...........and also a photographer in California who has been helpful beyond belief.....Academia types have only scared the bleep out of me and made me retreat to under my bed and tremble...........now I'm back on it and feeling really good about it...fayedy

I stumbled across a trick that seemed to help a lot in dealing with the procrastination involved in needing to get papers turned in on time: Write as quickly and rapidly as possible, making mistakes, etc., and then EDIT. I've found editing to MUCH easier to deal with!
