When it comes to marathons, I'm more the cheering-on-the-sidewalk, handing-out-the-cups-of-water type of guy. Roger that on growing the demand before getting all rambunctious on the supply side. Read people! And even if you don't, books make a delightful backdrop for your Zoom meetings while making you look smart.

You can do this. I don't know why I didn't do it this year. Last year was my first attempt. I didn't have a clue as to what I was going to write. I went in three days late.

Good luck, and have fun! If it turns into a novel, you can be sure I'll be there to read it.
