After last month's disappointing progress, this month I made some changes. I have tons of stuff that can just be typed. If I do some of that, it counts. And of course I need to push ahead with WWS.   Wind/Water/Salt  Chapters 29 - 48:  Need to take up comments and revise.  Chapter 49-50:  Finished and posted.   Chapter 51:  It was nothing but a little heap of bones but I filled it in a lot.  Persephone  (probably not its real name): Madeline Ashby said something really useful on Twitter about blackmail, and I think I can finish a draft now.

I dream of someday catching up to the books on this list, so I can remember when I asked for them, but I feel like it's never going to happen. Some of these were awesome (the one about going to see your brother's play) and some were meh. It's a short story collection, t...
