So I wrote a 2391-word treat for the ficathon. I hadn’t intended to do that. At all. :headdesk: I promised myself whatever I wrote on the ficathon, I’d match on the collaboration, so here goes.

In the hour and a half before 12:07, maybe 12:09, I forget which, I wrote 2304 words on the collaboration. The time of night showed. :shudders:

On a side note, the Invisible Ficathon has really brought back to my mind how much it matters to show the fictional literary and popular culture in a story if your characters are well-read. It makes me want to develop my own 'invisible canons.' It makes me want to remember to add in books and authors and shows and cultural touch points that 'everybody' knows. It makes me think.

Publishing gave me another cover headache. I emailed Createspace and told them to give me a hard figure for what size with bleed a cover for this trim size should be. I'm tired of it constantly shaving things just slightly wrong.
