No, not Ego Draconis. That continues to be fun, despite our encounter with a quest-killing bug. What we’re talking about is my ego. Okay, so the trailers I put up yesterday got zero response. That sucks, but at least I can tell myself that it’s because I’ve released them before, …
Verena has written a very nice post about our honeymoon. If I ever find the time, I’ll also write one – more of a travel narrative of sorts – but that’ll have to wait a while. For now, read what my wife wrote. As always, her writing is excellent and …
As part of the process of finishing and then publicising The Great Machine: A Nightmare, I’ve re-uploaded the two trailers I’d previously released to YouTube.
