The bulk of the Covid that hit me a month and some ago has passed, but it has left some lingering effects. The two I’ve picked up on is a general fatigue that wasn’t there before, and a reduced ability to focus on my damn job. This is troublesome as I am now in the last chapter of Book 3; I can complain with the best of ’em, but the sort of attention span that’s required to write technical histories while constantly referring to source documents is a bit lacking. Nevertheless I’m getting through it and hope to have the text of Book 3 done soon. The text will require some going through by the editor, though… I noticed that the most recent sizable chapter seems to have been done in a different style to all the others. And I can’t promise that bits written deeper in the throes of the Pinko Pox don’t have conspiratorial ravings about the king of the potato people.
I’ve seen progress on the cover art, and it looks pretty nifty. They have, however, nixed my notion – a very good and important one – that enough space be left on the cover to splash it with “America: ᚠᚪᛣᚳ YEAH!” in big red letters. Something about it being “inappropriate.”
