Just an off-topic suggestion, but since we're at the halfway point what if we all had a party where we backed our stories up. I e-mailed my story to myself this morning, just in case. I know I couldn't do it a second time.

I got stuck last night, so I made James read my story last night and tonight while I made suggestions in the margins of his story. Of course, he didn't ask me to betaread, but I'm a rather opinionated woman. (He knew that before he married me.)
