Now “no margin; no mission”.
There’s a fund raising component for this weird activity.
(If I’m the leading fundraiser, they will give me a writing course. I’m sure many of you would like that!)
Anyone who does kick in, I’ll send you my output.
Why you would want it is beyond me?
Maybe if you kick in, I promise NOT to send it to you. (Ask my relatives who got one of my books as Christmas presents! Revenge. I can do it again this year.)
Laff.
