When I Started: July 2017

How I Lost My Shit: I don’t even know, man. I started this five years ago, and while I had a lot of the key scenes early on, I must have ended up distracted by other projects. Then the pandemic hit, and I was working basically all the way through it. It just sat there, lingering, me adding scenes and sentences to it every now and then, for five whole freaking years.

How I Finished My Shit: I saw the WIP Big Bang come around for this year, flipped through my files of unfinished stories, and was bound and determined to get this one banged out. And then I did!!!!
