Very heartfelt and full of an energy that tells me that you aren't content to simply be despondent; I see you moving forward despite the oncoming arrows. And you are to be commended for that! An excellent way to literally make something of nothing, and a well-written something at that.

As you know, I empathize entirely, as I had to push past a hundred family/school/work problems to get my story cranked out barely on time myself. Adulthood blows sometimes. :)
