Thank you. I have already received a couple solid responses, and more might come in once people read through their "newsfeed." I have decided to write back to two people -- but unless one of them strikes me as a perfect match right off the bat -- I will keep looking for others. Being disabled and stuck in front of my computer for 16+ hours a day gives me a tremendous amount of time to do things -- plenty enough time to write and to reciprocate and help someone else with their writing projects.

I realize that novels are large undertakings, but that's what I do -- I can't write a short story, unless it is part of a larger whole. Perhaps I will learn how to write important themes in fewer words. I hope so. Right now, that seems more daunting than writing the next 100,000 words of prose.
