This is the final part of the summary of the events of The Sun Sword: Skirmish Summary 03.b.

I like interacting with my readers. Actually, let me rephrase that. I like interacting with readers for whom reading is a lifelong obsession, because that pretty much describes me, and it’s something we have in common. But interaction, when I’m overwhelmed, takes thought, focus, and energy, and when writing is particularly difficult, that’s where all the mental energy goes – and it leaves me with very little left over. When I am in that state, it resembles … Continue reading
