Hey, Diane:

While we're in confessional mode here, I took off six weeks, closer to seven or eight this summer, if you include getting ready for our trip and getting back to reality. You have to have some time off to prime the pump.

Tricks for staying focused? I don't know -- sometimes I can make myself and other times I can't. Maybe if you think of it like this -- the more stuff you have out there, the more likely you are to get an acceptance.

Good luck with it and may your next acceptance be on its way.

Lori
