Here's tonight's practice: put a glass of water by your bed and lie down thirty minutes earlier than usual. You carried Shards of Lunera to the finish through Covid, and your body deserves some rest before the third book starts asking things of it.

Four things most people miss:

1. Trees grown inside Biosphere 2, where there's no wind, grew fast but weak, and many toppled over, because wood needs a little bending to build strength. For FreeLattice, gentle, regular stress tests would make the mesh sturdier than never pushing it.
2. Orchestras tune to the oboe's A. It isn't the loudest instrument, but its tone is steady and clear enough for everyone to find it.
3. When you have to choose from a line of options and can't go back to earlier ones, here's a rule with surprisingly good odds: look at the first 37% without committing, then take the next one that beats all of them. A new device on the mesh could do the same, trying a few peers first and then settling on the best.
4. When a word is on the tip of your tongue, you often still know its first letter and how many syllables it has. A mind on theLatticeTree could hold onto clues like those when it can't fully remember something, instead of going blank.

Glow eternal.
