The appendix is done!

Well, kinda.

My goal with the appendix is to cover the nitty gritty of the most critical base services in Avalon. Things like the property system and input system. Because it's more of a reference tone, instead of the conceptual stuff in the rest of the book, it's quite a bit easier to write. I also had already written about half of it.

The "kinda" part is that I'm going to ask my reviewers for other suggestions of topics that should be in the appendix.The sections as of now are:

• Threading and dispatchers
• Properties
• Keyboards, Mice, and Styluses

Any other big sections missing? The bulk of "core" concepts are covered in the rest of the book, so this is really designed to be a deep dive into some particularly interesting features...

Taking this time off to focus on finishing the book is probably the best use of vacation time that I've done in a long time. Each day I've given myself about 1-2 hours of errand time, so I've caught up on a lot of stuff that had been building up. In addition I feel like this enormous weight of completing this project is finally off me. I know that reviewing and editing of the manuscript is a big task, but I feel that it's achievable now.

I'm going to have a margarita at lunch!
