Done!

PHOENIX LAW is done. PHOENIX LAW is *submitted*. It is now in the high holy hands of the editor and the agent. And I… …I am remarkably pleased with it. It’s possible this means I’ve created a disaster beyond the ability of the human mind to conceive, but probably not. It’s also possible it’s not as good as I think it is, but fortunately, that’s not something I have to worry about right now. Right now I can just rest on my laurels and gloat over it being DONE.
