Well my goal since I kicked this project in the butt a few weeks ago was to have a draft by the end of September. I think I've either got it or am very close. This is just an alphabetical list of titles/stories/chapters with word counts. It still needs significant editing/polishing and perhaps additional material. I expect it will be about 40K once I do all that, add foreword and possibly afterword.
