The paper, again

Okay, maybe it will turn out okay after all. I had aome take a look at the draft so far and she managed to talk me down from the ledge. Thanks, aome. I will work on it hard the next two nights; I'm pretty confident now I will get it done in time.

Of course, now that I have to be back at work today, the temperature has dropped down to a comfortable level.

Done, mostly. Sorta.

I have all the bones down now. It runs about 6500 words. Have sent it off to aome and kijjohnson for a look-see. It needs a bit of tweaking, perhaps a spot more analysis here or there. And a boffo ending.

I am incapable of writing a boffo ending tonight.
