   If you do stop (I hope of course that you don’t), the world that the rest of us see will be much the poorer for it.

   I think they might be more, work is never done while you are alive.

   Don’t stop Ben! You can’t let them win… look at all the books out there in the world – there is no reason at all for yours not to be with them. Try all agents, all publishers – try different countries agents and publishers! If the people you have already sent it to don’t recognise a wordsmith when they come across one then that is their failing, not yours. Keep going.

   Trust me, if you stop writing, the words will swim around in you head and drive you crazy.

   Not just the words, but I will swim around your head. Bitching, snipining, shouting “No Ben, No!”

   Don’t be silly, if you don’t write who will make *me* write?

   Do what you gotta do.
   But, then, you’ll miss this.
