Writing Activity: Continued work on first draft of book #5 - another chapter
                            completed.
                           Visited exhibition of the Honresfield Library in London - 
                            fascinating to see such historic original manuscripts and
                            letters, and to read that such illustrious authors also had
                            doubts and worries about their work and reviews.
