“Once more into the breach, dear friends.”

I doubt Shakespeare’s King Henry V was so well armed. To fight my way through the writerly Slough of Despond, I have been sent both a detailed map, which is a Dowler dungeon original, and a magical jeweled sword, potentially once used by very large Valkyrie. (Look, it’s a magical sword. It shrinks at need.)

I am now ready to finish my novel.

I will stop worrying that I was told my next book had to have a certain “weight” to follow Mare’s War,

I will stop panicking that the storyline is really “not me.”

I will stop worrying that it’s not good enough.

I will just… sing.

A SHOUT OUT to the Dowler Duo, Farida & Tony. Mille grazie.
