I am about thirty pages away from finishing a first draft of a mainstream novel. I work two days a week as a psychologist, have four kids 3-12, and write the rest of the time. I belong to a critique group and have two children's books circulating in New York, with the help of an Agent I signed with in July. I live in So. Cal. where it's close to 100 degrees today. I've worked with an internet writers' group assisting with character development, from a psychological perspective, and have since launched my Writer's Web page with info and a little side business attached. Please visit my site and let me know what you think. Http://members.aol.com/motivedr. That's all for now. Terrill
