Progress

Now that I only work part-time, I have dedicated myself to actually working on my book and other freelance projects.  I’m happy to say I made some major progress on the book.  I outlined both the introduction and the first chapter, which doesn’t sound like much, but these are very in-depth outlines.  They’re also necessary [...]
