A little bit of encouragement.

So I'm sitting here thinking, "What's the use?" when I get a call from Linda. 

She's just gotten a call from a friend in Texas she knew 45 years ago, and she's trying to track Linda down.

She finds out Linda's last name and goes "What a minute. I just read a vampire book by someone with that last name!" Apparently, she's into all things vampire. 

The upshot is, "She loved it! She wants the sequel!"

So I got to tell you, that's pretty much the shot in the arm I need right now.

Just a few degrees of separation in this world.
