It was kind of like being pregnant with a deformed, tentacled, soul-sucking frogmoose -- after nine months, you pop out something you expect to be beautiful (in a red-faced screamy way) only it's absolutely hideous. And then it eats your face. The point is that I'm currently in a much better place than that. But it's becoming clear that I might be a one-novel-every-two-years kind of author. Or maybe I just didn't choose my battle as wisely as I could have. But hey, what can you do, right? Jacob:
