I'm still trying to raise funds. The situation has become slightly more acute owing to the fact that a certain loan shark financial institution chose to renege on a payment agreement and cash a check that I couldn't afford to come out of my bank account right yet, with the result being I will have to pay my rent late. Also, it looks like my plans to take at least one week -- one measly little week -- off have been trashed. Of course, this assumes that I will be able to find a job right away...
Anyway, any help you can give, blah blah blah. I need to get working on that Best-Selling Novel...
