And then I realized, "Well, uh, I guess I'll do this, uh, but, you know, I'm gonna have to really devote a lot of energy and time." And so, um, you know, I wrote and wrote and wrote and wrote, and I kind of was obsessive about it because that's my personality where I won't, I won't do something for a long time, and then all of a sudden I, I have to do it, you know? And I, I just, I can't, I can't stop it.

And so, uh, this project was kinda like that for me.

And I got to a point where I started talking about, "Wow, I've done so many of these now, and I've put so much effort.

Maybe it's worth, uh, having this published." And originally, there was a plan for there to be a, a, a published, you know, physical version of this, which I thought would be the most useful almost immediately after the digital e-book.

And I, you know, I found an editor who helped me immensely throughout that process of getting it in an e-book file, and then it just kinda stalled.

You know? It stalled, and it waited, and nothing happened.

You know, why did Wolfe write them? Put them in their literary context for us.
