"Everything comes to an end someday. That's what this place is for. But it doesn't make the end hurt any less."

Speaking of ends, the last couple of lines sort of fall flat, but hey -- this is a first draft. I can always fix that later.

Three short stories in three weeks, and I finished this one well in advance of the wedding I'm going to tonight. Yay me! Now I just need to figure out what I'm doing for the fourth and final week. "Kingspeaker"? "The Unquiet Grave"? Nothing involving research, and bonus points if it isn't over 6K like this one was. We'll see what comes to mind.

Three months for a full-length book isn't a feat I could duplicate, even if I had a truckload of Dick's Benzedrine; I could write perhaps a quarter of a novel in that time. I have a lazy streak in me, I guess, even when it comes to stuff I love.

I look forward to reading WARRIOR AND WITCH. (BTW, how long was the writing of DOPPELGANGER?)

Not positive how long that one took, since I fiddled around with it for quite some time before sitting down and knocking the rest out. The latter stage was, again, about three months or so (I tended, and still tend, to use my summers for novel-writing), but I'd written a decent chunk of it prior to that.
