Hi Emanuel,

Sorry you were expecting a Portuguese edition, but I do appreciate you passing it on to your sister-in-law.

Now, before sitting down to write, I have a rough idea of what I need to achieve with each scene so that no matter how uninspired I am, I can at least count on getting from point A to point B. No matter how awful it turns out, I know I can polish it during the editing stage.
