So, it's 2019. There are a few questions to ask. What did I do last year? I started this blog, and posting regularly.

Next month I start a rewrite of a Tinon novella, and the month after I start a rewrite of another standalone. It's going well. I think I'll publish all the books I meant to publish this year--the only one I'm iffy on is Kaz at the Approach .
