Updates ...
Writers group last night -- good feedback on the Cereal Reverence chapter.
The map of Ceres also is advancing well. I needed a farmland texture and couldn't find a good one, so I stiched together several different ones can came up with this ... if anybody wants it. Sorry, it's non-seamless.
Can't attach it; uploading it to my webspace: http://links.mysteryandmagic.com/field-texture.jpg

Bloody hell, East-West are still not right ... they're supposed to be reversed on the night side. WTF is wrong with me!
And I have a road going into the lake. Well LOL maybe that's possible in the 157th century! (No, it's a mistake.)
Obviously I have a lot of cleanup to do. But the project feels advanced! In fact I can't think of anything I've forgotten to add.

Despite all the little hiccups you've encountered recently, it's still an amazing piece of work.

That's very kind of you, thanks. How can I make it better, though?
It needs more roads, and the roads need better definition, for one thing.

Totally last call for constructive (or any other kind of) criticism ... It's late June and this is supposed to ship in the May-June issue :\
