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

Unfortunately, it's not hard enough, due to the number of crap books on the market.

But seriously, my brain is melting.

Is there anyone out there who can do a bit of a beta read for me tonight? I mean, not read the whole thing, but accept it and maybe get back to me in a week or so?

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

I can give it a read, Allyson. I don't have grading right now.

That would be awesome. I just got my little guy to France, have to clean up France a little bit, and then write him to Australia and the San Diego zoo. The last chapter will need some cleanup. Moving along, moving along. Another 6k words or so.

THIS IS INSANE!

I can take a look at it. I can't get to tonight, tonight, but during the week. Profile addy is good.

Like erika, I haven't seen the rest. Also, my writing skills are dubious but I'm not afraid of giving my opinions.

I finally burst out of the revised chapter 12 logjam, despite recovering from some minor surgery. Also, I downed chapter 13 which yay, didn't change a lot from the rough draft. I'm now working on revising 14 in which romance rears its scary head.

I don't think I'm gonna make it. Chipping away at France. Desperation is kicking in.

Our wings are not tired.

Viva La France! You'll make it. We'll keep kicking you in the butt until you do.
