Hello one and all!

I humbly apologize for making you all wait so long for another chapter of Hocus Pocus but I have some great news about it. To whit I'm rewriting it as beat poetry. I realized tat it simply didn't have enough fingersnaps to really emphasize the feel I wanted for it.

Hey folks,

So I've been slowly updating that editing list I've got and "Tom and Spike" is the latest on there and one I recommend highly. I don't know if it makes mention when I update the blog list so I figure this isn't a bad way of letting you know the list does get updated from time to time.

I've heard the sentiment from a few folks now "It means far more to see my work favourited by someone who only has a small number of faves as opposed to someone with a large number."
