This is from an article in my local paper. Leaders of a growing local congregation that advertises itself as “The Cool Church” are telling their parishioners that being gay will take 30 years off a person’s life, prompting accusations that they are perpetuating “really uncool, deeply homophobic” lies.

Vista's Revenge

Yesterday I said: …with Bly’s help I’ve forced Vista to accept the exact same file it had no problem with this morning. I should have known better. So. I got my query done. I got my synopsis done. I printed them and my first few chapters out, to do one more hand-edit. Nine pages are
