My kid wants to be a novelist. She's working on her first long book project this summer; about 20k words in and it's a fun story, but she seems to have hit a wall.

I'm hoping to find resources and guidance meant to help kids plan and finish a first book. If you know of anything that might be useful for a 10 yo, brilliant-but-scattered budding author, I'd be grateful for a tip.

lord knows her parents are not equipped to help.

Thank you!!!

Nearly 30 years ago, I worked as a Unix Hardware Engineer, then Unix/Linux support, then supported 45 statisticians running Unix, and even as a IT Security Analyst. Now? I can't even get a company to look at my resume and give me a chance. A message to the younger folks that I follow: don't let what happened to me, happen to you. At 57, I'm not sure if I have any years left in IT or the tech industry.

Does anyone have an idea what the heck is up with wget?

It's an error, but I'm getting an "OK" status code.
