I was rereading The Choosing the other day and ran across an interesting typo: near-dessert. My first thought was, “What kind? Banana splits? Brownies?

Thank Anne McCaffrey
For the past few years, and especially for the past two, I’ve been contemplating the direction I want to take with my writing.
