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.

Yay Connie,

Connie, that's great.

That's awesome, Connie!

That's great, Connie!

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

I might have just pimped Updraft to the faculty here.

I might have just pimped Updraft to the faculty here.
