Hi everybody! A while back you might have noticed me yammering about a steampunk novel I was writing called Free-Wrench. Then you might have noticed that I completely stopped talking about it.

Deep in NaNoWriMo, Sanity Slipping
Hi, everyone. It’s going to have to be a quick one today, because I’m trying my darnedest to succeed at NaNoWriMo for the second year in a row.
