There has been a moderate slowdown kind of by necessity, for two reasons. One is that I think I actually killed some of the nerves in my thumb by clutching the tablet pen too tightly and pressing down too hard - both of those are habits that held over from my longhand writing, but I'm not usually writing longhand for hours and hours at a time. The point is, I can't really feel the tip of my right thumb anymore, which is sort of weird and awesome to test and experiment with, but also mildly worrisome. So I'm taking more breaks and spending less time working.

This shouldn't be taken to mean that Jiia's not going to get colored, but I can't really blast through her in six straight hours of work the way I did for Shimira

The second of my reasons is that the case of RDR and Steve Vander Ark vs. JKR has finally come to trial, and I've spent the last three days refreshing the three summary posts on Fandom Wank every two seconds and reading obsessively through all the links. My conclusion is pretty much that Jo is made of utter awesome, and RDR and SVA could not be more failtastic if they were trying, but that's just me.

NB: If the formatting's screwy, forgive me. HTML is not something I'm super good at.
