It’s not an intrinsically HARD piece, it’s just about stamina.
Although having said that, impending braces are gonna delay this substantially, argh.

I’m working up to NaSoAlMo, which I’ll hopefully actually commit to this year, as opposed to my abysmal attempt at NaNoWriMo.
I reckon that gives me a few months to get my act together/sabotage myself.
I agree money is definitely an issue here, is there a logic to how people are buying them? Chronologically, or order of preference?
Can’t wait for Heretic Pride either, it could be the best one yet.
I clawed my way to the living room window,
stood there in the cold.
the last bits of my dream like figures in the distance,
hard to hold.
I thought of old friends,
the ones who’d gone missing.
said all their names three times.
phantoms in the early dark,
canaries in the mines.
ghosts and clouds and nameless things.
squint your eyes and hope real hard,
maybe sprout wings.
