There's a shoulder poem in me somewhere. It's been trying to break me since June but I haven't quite written it yet.

I agree. I hadn't noticed. Things always sell out before a review posts.

This is a photo of me at 7:30 am this morning with Stefan. I have a love/hate relationship with Stefan's ass and my shoulder hates his guts. He's good at his job tho. Today he released me from his services and my shoulder is at 80%. I'll be taking over my own progress from here.

When your editor says "beautifully rendered" you allow yourself a little 5-minute victory lap and then get back to work.
