A Wedding in Sunspear update for the three people who are still reading it.

I finished teaching Summer School on July 26th and since then my main task, besides sleeping in every day, has been getting the first draft all done. It’s been a great time, though the characters have zero respect for the outline I made for them and keep doing things without my permission. And I’m quite sure I’m driving @gotgifsandmusings insane with my constant need for reassurance.

Anyway, as of this morning I finished Chapter 52, which means that each of the 8 pov characters now how one chapter left. We are officially in denouement. All the drama is resolved so they just need to reflect on their arcs, such as they are, and all I have to do is not think about how I’m going to go back and make everything actually readable.

Wish me luck.

I got you, friend.

Our Common Ground

From Natural Curiosity, 2nd Edition, by Doug Anderson, Julie Comay, and Lorraine Chiarotto (pg. 9)

“Perhaps what is needed is a ‘reconciliation pedagogy,’ a recovery of relationships, an encounter that brings all of us together as co-creators of our children’s survival.”
