Every time I go outside it starts to rain. Ok, sometimes it starts to rain when I don’t go outside, too, but it’s a bother to go out for a walk and discover doing so is an invitation for the skies to open up. But I walked! And now I only have 20 miles to go to Dunharrow, and 12 days before the end of the month, so hopefully I shall get there before April. Revisions proceed apace. I actually got a decent amount of forward motion done today, and…

Happy St. Patrick’s Day!
At PCon last weekend, , by way of a pamphlet she had from , recommended THE LIES OF LOCKE LAMORA, by Scott Lynch, to me. Ted had conveniently purchased it recently, so I read it over the last couple days, and it is in fact very good. I should’ve kept one of the pamphlets, to see what else they recommended!
