SO TIRED.
But I did it!!!
It ain’t pretty. It don’t make a lot of sense. But dammit, I DID IT. Right now I hate this manuscript too much to do anything with it, but after I finish Star and Scribe I’ll come back to it.

My sincere thanks to people who actually read the first drafts (which were chock full of continuity errors, typos, and just plain lousy bits). My abject apologies for asking you to read it again so I can feel a [...]
