... from fanfiction, lol. I finished Oligo FINALLY, woot woot! Meaning the ONLY fanfic I have left to really work on at all right now is The Wall That Fell. Since the idea of finishing that story like I had originally planned makes me want to throw up - due to the fact it would take another five years, probably - I have been agonizing over how to still finish it without compromising novel time. Last night, while trying to go to sleep, a fabulous ... View Post
Slow and steady, said the tortoise to the hare…..
