I have finished editing my anthology, so my next order of business is creating a new cover for the dang thing. New colour, increment the year count, and maybe think about a mote of extra arting. I dunno.

I want to get this out there.

On the plus side, I can focus on other things. Like editing Adapting. Building more dungeon zones. Actually work on a side-project that I've had in the planning stage. Or maybe just take some time to enjoy myself between goes on the OPEP or doses on Max, my nebuliser.
