Very excited for all my Kickstarter goodies to arrive plus the books and start getting stuff sent out for book 1! I'm excited to start working more heavily on book 2, but for now I've been jotting down notes and ideas as they come to me. I've got a pretty good outline going already.

I made my own little page break symbols! Inspired by my cover artists' little eyes, she added to the design. (Ignore the header, it'll be flipped in the final, I was messing around with formatting.)

I started watching more of my Sliders season 1 and 2 box set to make me happy.

I need to come up with more cool facts. My box is running low on them. There are more in Book 1 though! Especially the appendix!
