Anonymous asked: Hi Scott! MAZEL TOV on getting married!! I'm so happy for you both. Also mazel tov on getting more cats :-) great life choices all round. Um, I was just wondering what stage Thorn is at? Not 'when will it be published' as I know that's not up to you, and not 'omg how much longer??!11' because that's a jerk thing to ask. Just - are you writing the first draft? Revising it post-editorial-feedback? Checking copyedits? Just curious :-)

THORN needs an ending written (the ending is outlined in depth, just not yet written) and some targeted rewrites in three or four specific areas, based on vexing but extremely astute criticism from my agent, my genius wife, and a trusted friend. This is my primary job for December.
