Only one that matters for the CV, right?

It was time for new shoes, so I got the same ones for the fifth time because no other pair feels “right” and they make me wanna take them off. This means all my friends on the spectrum will laugh and, once again, crack “undiagnosed” jokes and probably a few Tylenol comments.

The next novel contains some of the most emotional scenes I’ve ever written. There’s also a bit of violence in there and some shadows with teeth.
