Current release has lower scores than the last installment ... and far fewer emails and/or comments which might explain why! I have clearly peaked. I shall go into the west and diminish. I've never been Galadriel though, so I can't remain her.
In other news, (that actually matters) I've passed thirty-five thousand words on book five this morning. The story is fighting me (queue sweaty landing scene from Airplane) so the going is slow. But, despite the slow progress, it is steady so that means that it will eventually finish.
