Hi, guys! Hope everyone is doing well. Lately I've been wondering if there's any interest in doing a BYBR discussion thing where I (or we) reread each chapter and then I post authorial notes about it and we discuss. I've gotten enough distance from it now that I'm ready to go back and analyze a little - mostly from a construction and plot ( Read more... )

vlredreign just nudged me so let me take a few moments to update everyone on the BYBR finale situation.  At this point, I feel about 3/4 of the way through with the last chapter.  Yes, I know it's been forever.  I have a good excuse...though.  My business is now 2 businesses with assistants and is growing as fast as I can produce, aka (Risky Beads and The ( Read more... )
