...I thought it was? But now I'm second-guessing. I mean, I remember writing up to the part about Catt making it all about him, but for the last couple weeks I've been seeing the part about considering himself the bereaved, having no memory of writing it, and thinking, "Good job, cahn!"

But given my recent state of mind, it's entirely possible I wrote it in a sleep-deprived, deadline-driven frenzy, had forgotten by the next morning that I wrote it, and attributed it to you. :)

Speaking of sleep-deprivation, here I am on 4-5 hours again. :( As I hinted recently to cahn, I might have to extend my salon hiatus into January. This is frustrating, because I still have a backlog of comments to reply to, plus a growing list of things I'm encountering in my reading (or questions that came up during YT fic writing!) and want to talk about, but this month, I need to focus on fixing my sleep, putting in more hours at work, and studying German.

My hope, though, is to get to the point where I can read Katte salon-relevant books in German at a reasonable speed, and then I should have *plenty* to talk about, sleep permitting. (I guess it'll be a race to see if my German or my sleep fixes itself first, lol.)

Anyway, I will try to be around a little bit, but whenever you don't hear from me, imagine me heads-down on German investing as hard as I can in our future salon goodness. :)
