It's a tough decision to make. Something to think about. Whichever way you go, I know it will be a very interesting read.

I think your first instinct was the right one - let him do his own 'jerky' thing, whatever it ends up being, without sqeezing him into the straightjacket of a 'message'...

Well it was an achievement to do that Pat. It was a good exercise and proves you can be motivated and consistent,a failing of this most of us adhere to under the usual circumstances.

Isn't there an old saying that "words of a feather flock together." Or is it that "a word in time saves nine?" I think a "little word told me you'd be happy" when you are all done and published and selling.

So interesting, Pat!
Rough times do toughen us up but I guess they add spice (bittersweetness?) to our existence. I pray I at least learn something/have learned something worthwhile from the challenges. Writing them into a story may be a painful re-living. Whatever you decide, best wishes and my kudos remain for meeting the word count..:)
