Take comfort in the knowledge that you need less help than most. The stuff I've read from you is, quite frankly, better than many published writings I've read. You put me to sahem, my dear Lady, and I congratulate you on it!

I've resorted to buying books on my own to study writing dialogue, scene structure, etc. But, as they say, practice makes perfect! All of life is one long learning experience that never ends - lets pull something worthwhile from it!
