I love that second picture. Where is it from?
ReplyDeleteI'll update the post with info on the artist.
ReplyDeleteOh, you gave me a laugh this morning! Thanks a bunch, Tia. Yes, of course, you do it. Now, get to work!
ReplyDeleteI'm actually quite thrilled with how well the surgery is going so far. Of course, it required going through the ENTIRE BOOK once again.
ReplyDeleteAny update on the emergency surgery? :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for asking! I have come up with some rather fun plot threads as a result of all this surgery, something that I never would have thought of had I kept with the original (and lame) plot.
ReplyDeleteIn fact, it inspired another blog post that I hope to post today or tomorrow.
