Remember how two weeks ago I posted and said OMG there’s this bit in SHAMAN RISES I’d forgotten and it was like reading it for the first time? Last night doing the final edits, I hit that bit again and the same thing happened. I think I can safely say nobody’s going to see that bit coming. :) (No, it’s not that I’m losing my mind, it’s that I’d revised that section heavily and the changes haven’t settled in my mind yet, apparently.

Yeah, okay, so I was going to do this as a crowdfund, and I got the project page all ready, and I was going to launch it last night and I had a terrible spasm of “maybe this isn’t a good idea.” So I delayed the launch, and this morning I’m more able to interpret the spasm as “push that button and this becomes work,”…
