Twelve is up.

Bits of Thirteen are written. I expect to have some time to work on it today; we'll see how much I get done.

And a splendid Twelve it is! Our consultations are paying off in the courses our characters are taking. One would almost think you had experienced an affair like the one you are depicting; you have the emotional tone so perfectly on pitch. But then, the best writers can summon the sense of how things must be out of nowhere. We do not have to crawl across a desert to know how thirsty we would be.

Onward!

Thanks!

You asked in your review whether I had noticed that everyone felt like the weak link in the group. I did notice that, and considered whether it was realistic for Paine to express the same sentiment, or whether it would feel like piling on. As you see, I decided to go with it, and I think it was the right decision. Paine is confident, but she's also aware of her limitations and not shy about admitting them, at least not to herself.
