The wheels of justice start off speedy, but then slow down to a crawl, don’t they?
Well, fear not. Those wheels may not be turning as quickly as I’d like, but they are still in motion. I’m not giving up until I have the resolution I want.
Peace, Love, and fluffy kittens, y’all!

What the fuck are they waiting for? For fucks sake, what bullshit.
I wish I knew what was taking so long. I’m ready to be done with it. Have been for a long time. It’s long overdue.
Thank you for the excellent work you did on my manuscript, and for such a reasonable rate! You get all my business from now on, and I’m telling all my writer friends about you too.
Working on your book was a pleasure. I’m glad you’re satisfied with your results and look forward to working with you again. 🙂
Now you know why it was going so slow.
Ah, yep. But no longer. I understand things are going to progress pretty quickly now.
