I have an ugly baby

Sigh. I'm always getting ahead of myself. Look at me talking about what my next book is going to be when I've got a lot of revising on this one to do! And I feel like I should apologize to anyone who offered to read this draft for me. Properly, I should have called this my 'brain dump' draft and not even have dignified it with the title 'first draft.' I haven't even done a punctuation or grammar check yet (and it definitely needs to be done). Saundra was also kind enough to point out how one bit came out sounding rather horribly bigoted on an issue that I'm most decidely for! Urk. Wet noodle lashes for me. Or dry noodles. Or, worse yet, noodles coated in terriyaki sauce.
