Spike? It's you. It's really you! My therapist thought I was holding on to false hope, but…I knew you'd come back. You're like…you're like Gandalf the White, resurrected from the pit of the Balrog, more beautiful than ever. Oh…he's alive Frodo. He's alive.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why? Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.

Definitely something. Congrats, Susan!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Susan, congrats x 10!

Not having has never been the thing I've regretted most in my life. Not trying is.

That is a lot more than something Susan.

That is woohooworthy. Congratulations.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

Thanks, y'all.

I just finished typing everything in--it's 124,500 words using the page count estimate method, 112,711 using Word's counter. (A normal amount of disparity, especially for dialogue-dependent writers.) That's 498 pages in 12-point, 25-line-per-page Courier New.

I'm going to let it rest for a week--do some of the housecleaning I've been neglecting, read for fun, and maybe draw up an editing strategy--and dive back in sometime next week.
