A big THANK-YOU to Daniel Mark for critiquing my query on the blog <http://thenightstanddebuts.blogspot.com>.  I am one step closer to being published. I am still in the rewriting stage and will be for quite some time.  It has been a lot more brutal than I originally realized. The publishing industry is a lot more complex than what a lot of people realize. One day when I get time, I plan on writing an entire blog dedicated to my research efforts.
