Update

You may have noticed that I stopped updating this blog after July Camp Nano Day 8. That’s because I got much more involved with my YouTube channel and writing. I’m not going to permanently retire this blog but for more frequent updates on how I’m doing in my writing process, be sure to subscribe (and don’t forget to hit the bell icon to get a notification every time I post a new video):
