Works in progress, October edition
I’m changing the format to make this easier to read and a lot less stream of conscious. I’ve made very little progress in anything this month. That’s a bit depressing. I’m blaming Patrick Rothfuss. I keep losing hours to The Name of the Wind. It’s an awesome book that I highly recommend. Anyway, NaNoWriMo is coming […]
Not every story needs to be a novel
