Hi! It’s been a while since I’ve been here. Taking a quick break to show you what I’m working on. Wait. I can’t do that right now, so I’ll show you my work space for today. I’ve got my cup of coffee,cleaned up a bit, and I’m ready to work. More to come in the near future.

To kick things off: prologues are fine as long as they’re shorter than 1000 words and not redundant with Chapter 1!
