Because books.
(This is why -- well, one of the reasons -- we love Ginger. She knows all.)

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.
Those are excellent examples, Ginger. Those are both well-loved books. AWiT is one of what I consider my 'life-saver' books - not just comfort reading, but the kind of reading that is essential when my soul feels wounded.
I hope Cog will become that sort of book for people one day.

This isn't the thread for fanfic, but I knew people would appreciate this: I'm writing, I'm writing, I'm writing. I didn't know if I'd still be able to after Hubby. I haven't been able to write in so many months. It's both wonderful and sad that I've got it back.

That's really great, Connie! Maybe there's hope for me yet.
