Note that there has been a significant proofreading pass since the Wattpad completion, with something like a thousand semicolons fixed.
I’ll probably do at least one more big pass myself on a few problematic chapters in about 30 days when my brain isn’t completely fried. There’s still ample time to get your feedback in!
I want to extend a HUGE thank you to all the people who participated in the stream. I got some incredible feedback, and seeing people turn up every day to watch really motivated me to complete this. Ya’ll are the best.
Next I begin the fairly onerous process of trying to sell the book.
It’s still so amazing to me that we made it! I’m going to take a break to work on some short stories for about a month and then I plan to start working in earnest on a rewrite of my next book.
