Dealing With Sharp Objects

Sometimes I need a machete, sometimes a scalpel. Sometimes–gasp!–I’m grafting something in, but not that often.

Whoopsie!

Goofed again, and it took a couple days to catch it. ::sigh:: At least I did catch it, and I’m moving onward again. Oh, better go get a word count–55,758. Cool! Just a hint, to anyone writing anything with a love story tangled up in the story problem–the sooner someone says those immortal words, “I
