Can’t go forward, can’t really go backwards either – too much ground has been travelled, too much blood sweat and tears shed to get us to this point. 

The revelation that I’m an appalling salesman isn’t the shock it could be. 

Self-deprecation take a bow; the stage is yours!

We have submissions waiting to ‘time out,’ and once the calendar has ticked the necessary days and the expected silence prevails, we will have to have a serious and long hard look at what we are trying (and failing) to achieve.

Does it mean the project is dead?

No.

But it does mean we’re going to have a long hard and brutally honest review of just how we got to this point.

What is good will be kept and polished, and what is not will alas be cast asunder.

Best I get that bit right!

So, anyway, thanks for listening, and as ever I urge you to hug the ones you love, to stay safe and remain sane.
