In 1998 The Legend of #Zelda Ocarina of Time was released. 
13 years later, in 2011, the remake for 3DS was released.
It had been 14 years since that remake. 🙃
We are further from the remake today than the remake was from the original.

I originally wrote a story called "Does the Well of Time Fill Slowly?" in 2015, several years later I started turning it into a novel, but quickly realized that wasn't right.

I'm making a free YouTube course that is geared toward helping absolute beginners start creating #fantasy #languages (or #ConLangs). If you feel like this topic is way beyond you, maybe check this out. I promise it's not. 
Enjoy the videos and music that you love, upload original content and share it all with friends, family and the world on YouTube.
