Update on the progress of my manuscript: I recently finished reviewing the changes my editor has suggested, and we had a conversation via Skype where he offered advice on self-publishing. Now I must commence with a final revision and then a final edit. Unfortunately, the word processor I have been using has began to cause errors in formatting. The Internet is too slow here (Punta Sal, a small beach town of the northern coast of Peru), so I will have to wait to begin this project. On the plus side, this has given me the necessary time to catch up on my journal.
