Synopses:
Still hate them. On the upside, I didn’t realize I had this many backlogged novel projects.
My Weekend
Was up at 6am on Saturday to prep for the franchise convention. Headed down to the hotel and worked with our tech guys to synch up my asshatted computer with the projector so my PowerPoint presentation displayed correctly.

%^$#*&$^*##@!! Book
Why, yes, the line edits I actually *wrote down* are in for all 500 pages. Is the latest rewrite “done”? No, no of course not, because I have about four notes still in my head and then another printing because there’s extraneous infodumping that can now come out, somewhere, somehow, because this book should not
