On May 8th, I made a big (with trumpets) post about how my book was ready to send off, and I noted in the comments that it would probably take me six months to finalize the little details before sending it off. Those of you with absolutely mindboggling levels of intelligence may already be able to see what this is leading up to. So, yeah, it is now ( Read more... )
