Not much to report, sadly
I’ve been struggling to get through My Last Days for far too long. Unfortunately, I don’t have much to update you on as of right now.
Having Trouble Finding Motivation
Sometimes it’s hard finding the right motivation to finish what seems like an insurmountable project. But, can I do it anyway?
An Editing Update
Just a quick update on how editing is progressing on My Last Days.
Copies sent to test readers!
I just sent copies of my “final” draft to my beta readers. Victory! Oh.. maybe not?

“Final” Draft Editing of My Last Days
I’m editing the “final” draft of My Last Days. This post talks about what that process has been like over the last few years.
