Wind/Water/Salt Chapter 21:   Posted Chapter 22: This chapter was finishable, so I did, and it's posted too.  Chapter 1 3.1: I wrote half a chapter here, maybe Chapter 13.2: This was why I had to write 13.1, actually. I moved half of chapter 40 (!) to here because the tension it adds is way more useful early in the story, and to make that work I had to alter a whole bunch of other stuff.   Chapter 23:  Chapter 24: I did manage to read this and made some markups.  During the process of relabeling all the chapters, I realized the first half of chapter 40 needed to be somewhere around Chapter 12, which meant I had to add some time and figure out what my various characters are really up to in the background (when they're not on the stage).

LHC #64: "Spin" by Robert Charles Wilson. Weirdly, I have a different book by RCW in my TBR pile. But I own that book, so the necessity to read it is so much lower! Thi...
