The first drafts of Winds of Wintercrest are complete. This story is quite different than what I'm used to writing.

I hope to have it out late next week or the following weekend. Fingers crossed!

If you are in a situation where someone tries to make you shut up, to silence or to censor you, don't let them. If they try, speak up even stronger and even louder.

You are stronger than them.

Something I felt like saying today.
