  • No Take-Backsies!!!!!

    I feel… ranty, today. Here’s the thing: I am busting my ass trying to create a series of 7ish fantasy books and other series(es?) as well. I am knocking myself out with trying to make sure everything is consistent with the rules of the world and the names and the maps and the directions and…
