The summary has already undergone a major rewrite, but it now might contain a little too much info. Any comments would be gratefully considered.

I like it, especially the part where you link it to today. That will resonate with a lot of people.

Thanks. After a couple more tweaks, I think it's now ready for prime time. It's all yours.

Chapter 37. Relatively short, as will be the next one.

Ann, forgive me. I know I said I was done with the summary, and I meant it. But I've just realized that I omitted something important and have tacked it on at the end. I hope it's not too late to include it, but if it is, I'm sure I can learn to live with it.

It's never too late, even after we catalog. I will update the summary right now!

ETA: Now that I am thinking about it, would you like to add tags too?

Thanks for your prompt (and positive) response. I'll add tags before I submit the final chapter, and if you have any ideas and don't mind a bit of extra-curricula work, please feel free to stick them in ANY TIME!

Awesome! I was going to do the tags myself, but decided to wait until the end.

I've made a start with keywords, but I recall that genres to select from are usually listed, and I don't see them here. Am I missing something?

I actually selected the genre to be General Fiction/Published 1900 onward. I think I should also add Literary Fiction. Do those sound OK?

Chapter 37 is PL OK!

Your genre selection and suggestion are perfect. Thanks.

Chapter 38.

Here's Chapter 39, another long one. But it looks like Ch. 40 will be mercifully shorter.

I put in the genres you suggested and added a couple more keywords. Please add to them if you'd like.

Well, I predicted completion by Memorial Day, but if not tomorrow, it certainly will be close!

This baby has been a job and a half, but really a pleasure. Not ready to stop yet, so I'll soon be looking for my next victim.

TA DA!!! IT'S ALL YOURS (unless I need to fix a booboo).

What an adventure. Thanks for coming along with me.
