Well, we got that chapter finished earlier. Act 2 keeps growing beyond my expectations, but hey, each chapter has been good, so can I really complain?

Well, time for another stint of #writing. Enjoy these little update/"here I go again" posts while they last. Once this book is done, you're gonna be seeing more and more of the dreaded #marketing posts that I've been prepping behind the scenes. Yay 🙃
