Let's go!!! Let's burn through my yearly quota of exclamation marks!!!

If you're up for a fun game, keep an eye out to see how the text changes as time goes on! (I mean as different versions of the same pages are posted/published).

More pages next week! I'm hoping to have Chapter One done by early September, because that's when [dramatic music sting] my partner finishes maternity leave and heads back to work. Once they're all in the hopper, I'll start serializing them at delilahdirk.com, as well as any other place I end up putting it. I'll worry about that later. Right now, I just want to A) enjoy August*, and B) get Chapter One coloured-up.

I hope y'all enjoy these—I'm really really excited to finally have got to this point and be able to share them with you!

Oh, also, C) I have to come up with a new title for this book. It's not going to be "Delilah Dirk and the Such-and-Such," for reasons I might explain in a future post. Currently it is "Practical Defense Against Piracy: A Miss Nichols Primer for Young Ladies," and I like that title a lot, but I think there's something better out there, just out of reach right now, one long, hot shower away.

* Scream along with me: where has all the time gone!!??
