    This newsletter is brought to you by an extra-large gas station Coke, a sinus headache because everyone chose today to mow their lawns, and my internal promise that if I finish this newsletter, I can jump into the pool and cool my body, if not my brain.

    Don’t mind me, emerging from the drafting and editing mines, blinking and streaked with soot. But I do have a rather large (110k) clump of coal in my hand that I hope to make a diamond soon. Basically, I finished a manuscript rewrite, and y’all, I’m exhausted, battered, and lamenting that writing a book (even a rewrite) is so difficult.
