Josh’s Comments (group member since Jun 17, 2010)

Josh’s comments from the Q&A with Josh Lanyon group.

After two days of frantic running in circles, I'm pretty calm and reasonably focused.

One Thing at a Time.

hahahaha. Luckily, I think we all understand the cryptic comments.

I don't think anything strikes dread in my heart as the words TAX SEASON do.

Even though I do very much like my tax person!

Well, you know we've had a very good response, so things are looking bright. :-)

The truth is, whether the group lives or dies is in some ways out of my hands--or the hands of any mod. If there isn't enough participation, the group will simply fade out whether we officially pull the plug or not.

On the other hand, it takes relatively little effort to keep it humming along!

Pretty much unbearable.

Ugh!

I don't blame you for being aggravated. That's bad thinking on their part.

I did see that. I figure in his case this will be a helpful lesson in learning to see through the eyes of others.

It's still awful that what sounded like a good and original book was squashed--then again, as you point out, he helped create the monster.

I'm so happy you loved that one. Joel is just stunningly versatile.

It's Friday!

My last official designated catch-up today. Tomorrow is all writing--the rest of the month is all writing.
