It's been a wild month, and I have tried to stream as best I can. So I figure how can we handle struggles not by resting or pushing through on our "real" writing, but by being weird.

Worth a try, anyway.

I'm a bit clearer-headed this episode, and talk about all those times you can say "the book is done!" (There are several times you can say that.)

Punchline- today I got another edit pass on my novella sent to me. >_

Well, of a sort. I had a hell of a few weeks and was essentially brain dead and struggling today. I announce a week off of streaming and try to talk about the new narrative game I'm playing on my stream.

I'm also working on more transcriptions. By the end of this week I should have this season's episodes 1-10 done. 

Again, no twitch stream this week.

It's hard to deal with too many ideas, but I have some thoughts. But also, for the luvva all that is decent, don't pay to publish your book. Just...don't.
