Congratulations on finishing the first draft.

But I foresee a very busy month and a half ahead for you and Steve.

The cats will have to schedule overtime for this one.

Terrific, and congratulations. I hope you can grab a couple of days of downtime before you jump into revision mode.

Yay! Congratulations!

YAY! You rock!

I was going to send dancing rodents, but they refused to go because they're afraid of your cats.

Yay draft! Author sleep now!

Yay! I just wish it took me at least half as long to read your books as it does y'all to write them... heavy sigh...

Congratulations!

It's been a real treat watching you rack up that word count.

Late last night I finished Scout's Progress, and when I went to check the timeline in the Unibus (I'm reading the e-book versions. I've heard of an omnibus, but what is an unibus?) I was extremely distressed to see that there were no more stories listed before the death of Aelliana. (extremely. Distressed.) I don't know which made me more upset, that Daav only has her for 4 years, or that there wasn't a story, where the two of them got to be happy together post Aelliana being abused.

It wasn't until this morning that I remembered about Mouse & Dragon and realized that this could be nothing other than the story I want. THANK YOU! (Although still unhappy with only 4 years for Daav & Aelliana.)

FYI, I love the Tree more and more, every time I read about it. I think the Tree and Jela are my two most favorite characters in the whole series.

Hooray! Hope you can rest easy for a bit.

Congrats! I'm looking forward to eventually reading it.

110K! And a First Draft, too!

Time to run around the house, let all the little knots and tensions go, tell the cats they've been good little helpers (hey, napping can be hard work, too), and do whatever marks the end for you. And congratulations! Another milestone slipped past, another pile of words set up for the next stage, outstanding! And still a few weeks before the deadline, too. Give yourself a big pat on the back!

I'm SO excited! Scout's Progress is my favorite re-read.

Thank you, Tank u, Thank you. My summer reading now assured! Salivating at the thought of more Daav and Aellie. Put your feet up, take a deep breathe, and relax, relax. Sleep late, laze about - you deserve it.
Thank you!

I sure hope those Tim Tams are the dark chocolate double-coat. You deserve nothing less. Yay!
