HFQ snippet request

I'm hoping for one more, since we normally get a "Final Snippet" title.

It's all that keeping me from a descent into a dark pit of madness that likely involves mixing some (Lloyd) Webber into our Weber.

Songs like "Snippet" from 'cats, "The Snippets of the Night" from The Seijin of the Opera and "Any Snippet Will Do" from Wencit and the Amazing Technicolor Wild Magic really don't need or deserve to exist, particularly as written by *me*

Frankly, I'm starting to think there won't be another before the book's out.

Unfortunately, DW hasn't logged onto forums since August 3rd, so he hasn't seen the recent kvetching (or begging).

Sigh,

Well - of course, he may be logging in under another name entirely and stirring the pot occasionally.

I wonder who it might be?? I have my suspicions - I think it is ... [internet connection fails at this point]

I'm impressed that we got snippets for a year. Looking back to last summer, when the first snippet came out, I thought, "Wow! It's gonna be a year til the book is out?" But we've gotten a lot of content - 28 snippets - so my glass is half full.

Thanks, RFC. That was pretty good.

Well, that is depressing... HOWever, it could be he's finished another book in that time. I, for one, would dearly love to know what he's been up to this past month.

As we approach the final weekend in August, I join with my fellow denizens in hoping that our Author has a PRODUCTIVE and ENJOYABLE end to summer. I say this in full cognition that snippeting an already produced work is not all that productive albeit a temptation to send multiple minds into mazes of little twisty passages with a strategic ellipse or ending.

I retain hope that sometime in the next 45 days we will get our desired "Final" snippet, but I can live without - cranky, disgruntled, ahedonic and billeous, but live none the less.

I'm just a country boy; could you translate that last paragraph into English?

I would take it to mean 'grumpy old git'

Sometimes the fortitude of my fellow posters just takes my breath away.
