crap- figured out an ending to a story that's been with me for a couple years... frozen in beauty but unable to complete. and now it's done.
And I just need to finish the final story in the collection- get it edited and sort out its own issues.
[of course who knows if the beta reader will like it, but it doesn't matter, because it's so much more now. i have hope.]
maybe someday a cover and release for it...
oh, what a merry Christmas and happy holiday. and best present ever.
