Yes, it's been a while. I admit. But I'm really trying to wrap this puppy up in a neat bundle, though it's really hard. So much to think about. Along this journey I have learned to write down the character gallery, places I have in the story and other useful stuff. Good to have on hand when the writing is going slow.
