I've restarted and rewrote this silly Lost Story at least three times now, but it's finally starting to gel. And I'm seeing a "theme" to these Stories, which will make it much easier to edit them together into a narrative. Yes, my Pittsburgh books are all shorts, but they are shorts strung together by a common thread of story, and I think I found the ones for these. We'll see.
Anyway, yes, still working on this. And it's almost Chelsea day! I'm very happy with these last few stories and I can't wait for other people to read them.
