Thanks for the response.

Would I write PM again today? Well, certainly, it was the set of ideas with which I occupied myself completely at the time. I don't now. So, in that way, it could never happen that it would be written by me again.

But, would I make the ideas known again in writing? Sure if they were not readily available, I would right away! Actually, PM was completed and sort of "held back" about a year by the publisher [in addition to the year it takes to actually edit, cook, and print it] so that another book could be published 1st - for reasons about which I only guess. But when I wrote it, and had it been published in a timely manner, it would have been the only way to get some of its information in the hands of many.

How do I fell about PM today? I think my writing style was amateurish (which sort of irks me now), and the "sales job" that it bespeaks is part of that. But I am happy and proud to have written it and many people find it very useful for their therapy work, understanding, growth, etc. What more can an author want? (Oh ya, riches!). Well, it won't be making me rich. < G >
