My intention in participating in the OC Slamjam contest was to develop a multi-chapter story loosely based on the life of Steve Jobs and equating the Personal Computer revolution (which I experienced very personally in the eighties and nineties) with the Personal Spell Caster revolution championed by my protagonist OC, Firefly.

I didn't expect that it would take this much time, and that I would last so long. If I continue to win "matches" it might still be a few weeks. If not, then I'll be back to finish Outland and A herd of my Own.
