Posted on by

I have a major announcement coming up (Sunday) that has essentially killed my writing productivity. Instead, I’ve been preparing for the announcement and everything it means going forward. <I know…major teaser with nothing to tell you what is actually happening> Trust me when I say, the waiting has been VERY difficult.
