God, I am so sleepy. Where did I leave you guys? Oh, yeah, my FAILURE OF READING. Alas. Anyway, despite my inability to update my blog on its normal schedule, I have actually been making pretty good progress on the
Chipping Away at It
The hell? WordPress is giving me prompts now. I guess that could be useful? Anyway, moving on. I’m making decent progress on my chart. I do think that’s going to be helpful. Right now I’m putting in the plot points
Good Job, Past!Kit
Good news, squiders. It turns out that earlier in the year, before I switched the revision/marketing for Hallowed Hill, I went through and outlined the current state of Book 1, including notes on what the chapter was versus what it

MileHiCon Aftermath and a Look at November
Oof, sorry for going all radio silence all week, squiders. Everything is fine! Except I’m avoiding editing my SkillShare class, not sure why. I think it’s because I feel like I need it to be quiet and I keep getting
