No, that doesn't mean what you might think it does. Allow me to enumerate what it does mean:

1. I've got about 3 1/2 weeks to make $200, else not have a car, and no job to make it with
2. Pretty bad depression coming from the same, and being otherwise trapped in my parents' home
3. Not even a glimpse of silence around the house...
4. Fever? Check.

You know, you never know just how-tech a society we live in until you...

1) Pass a farm tractor on the Interstate within the city limits of the state capital, and
2) Connect your car to your home WiFi.

... Yeah. I just did both of those. Also, my first Uber passenger last night was a poor guy that ran out of gas diagonally across a busy bridge over a major highway from the gas station. While he was (nearly) running late to pick his daughter up from school, no less!

Yeah. I'm getting to that point. Considering cancelling a story not for lack of plot, not for lack of ideas... but for lack of reception.

I've always seen Diamond as more of a problem child. Especially watching that episode where her problem is solved as "not knowing another way", her mother seems very abusive towards her. And abusive parents is a real problem that can lead to bullying... and future abusive parents. No really, it's been studied.

Yellow again!

So yeah, you may have guessed. I've repubed another edited chapter, this time on String of the Stars:

The changes aren't massive just yet- as in, not total rewrite. The story does go in a different direction in this chapter than it used to, though- though we start seeing some of the bigger ways it's is going to be different from Flaming Inn and Suites.

It so happens, I just got back from a fairly lengthy trip to the dentist... and on both legs of the journey, I spent the time listening to a Harry Potter audiobook. Woulda been an Honor Harrington book- they're cheaper, plus I need to read them for the Sphinxian Equine- but I don't like that reader's voice, and the Potter books were voiced well, in my opinion.
