Re: Solutions

I don't think the world needs another blog entry bemoaning 2020 and 2021, so I'm going to skip right past to the part where I try to make some sort of writing plan for 2022. Throughout 2021, I had three things in my head—one of which solidified because it's already underway—and the other two still …

Corey Alexander Interview
