Almost There!

This edit is almost done. The changes are amazing. I’m so thrilled I could do–not just a song and dance, but an entire musical, performed solely by me. Except I’m way too tired for that.

Out of My Hands!

Out of My Hands!

Joss is off to my editor! I am quite delighted. Let him run HER round in circles for a while. I’m catching up on Things. Sleep may or may not be one of those Things. ๐Ÿ˜€ For a while, I get to Not Think about the same thing all the time. I get to put
