I can’t believe we’re here, but here we are. Paper Beats World is turning ten next week.
Ten! We have been here for an entire freaking decade. Ten years of blogging, writing, showing up for myself and all of you.
It’s astounding. I used to not stick to anything. Do you know how many blogs I started before this? Two. I thought for sure this would be number three.
But we are here. And we are here because you are here. Because as astounding as it feels to me every day, you are here reading this.
Because of this, I wanted to do something extra special this year. After some thought, I decided actually to do three things. All three are for you because I cannot get over how thankful I am.
Bonus posts
I will be posting a blog post every day from now to August 30th. So stop by every day for some new writing advice and community.
Brand new microfiction
If you’re following me on Instagram or Threads, you’ll be able to check out a new microfiction every day, starting tomorrow. I meant to write some sci-fi and fantasy microfiction, but they all turned out pretty creepy. I hope you like them. I’m pretty proud of them.
Daily giveaways
Finally, I wanted to give you all a gift for sticking with me through the years. So every day, starting tomorrow, I’ll be doing a giveaway for either a book or my Preptober planner. All you have to do to enter is to like the post of the day and leave a comment.
Again, I just cannot thank all of you enough. And I hope you’re ready for ten days of celebrating.
See you tomorrow.

Who hasn’t felt this heartbreak? You get introduced to a series, and it’s love at first sight. The characters, the plot, the execution. Everything is just hitting that spot.
And then, you finish the first book or first season. So what is there to do but wait for the next one?
So you wait. And you wait. And you wait. Finally, one day, the dark truth is revealed.
Your series was canceled.
So many, many good series have been canceled before their time. Or, there’s so much time between one book or season and the next that it feels like it might as well have been canceled. And it sucks! I could just start listing off series that have ended without an ending for the rest of this post, and I’d run out of room before I ran out of titles. Just a few that still tear me up are Limetown, The Numair Chronicles, and of course the infamous Firefly.
No, Serenity doesn’t count as an ending.
And don’t even get me started on the extensive times between books or seasons. The last season of Stranger Things came out in 2022, and the next season isn’t expected until next year!
With all that being said, I understand why some people choose to wait until a series has ended before getting invested in it. Doing so would have certainly saved me from the heartache of the Santa Clarita Diet ending. And I didn’t like it, but I know Song of Ice and Fire fans probably wish they’d skipped the whole damn thing after waiting thirteen years and counting for the next book.
Here’s the thing though. Waiting to read a series or watch a show until it’s done, is just increasing the chances that it’s never going to get done at all.
The publisher is going to nope out
The publishing world is a business, like any other. And it’s going to produce what makes it money. Not what’s good, or what the editors like, but what sells. The same can be said for streaming platforms and TV networks. If enough people aren’t watching a series, there’s little chance it’ll get picked up for season two, if it even gets a chance to finish season one.
This is one of the things I hate most about the field. Storytelling is cutthroat, and I hate that creative endeavors have to be so. It’s like knowing fennec foxes will fight to the death with each other. It shouldn’t be in their nature, but it is.
The money is going to dry up
Unfortunately, we live in a capitalist society. And because of that, sometimes we have to make shitty decisions. So even an indie writer, like myself, might have to cut a project if it’s not making enough money to be worth the time.
Again, most people don’t want to do this. I love writing my stories. I want to see how my series ends as much as everyone else. Probably more. But when creative work is what’s putting food on your table and keeping the lights on, you have to make sure what you’re producing is what’s selling. Writers and creatives have to have some income from book one while they’re working on book two.
No one likes playing to an empty house
Okay, so what’s my excuse, you might ask. I don’t write for TV and I’m not traditionally published. I have a day job, so I don’t depend on my writing money to eat. So what’s stopping me from writing anything I want?
Nothing. I can, and do, publish whatever I want whenever I want. But what I want is to write stories that people read. Or listen to, in the case of AA.
If I didn’t care if other people read my work, I’d just publish it for fun and move on to another project. I certainly wouldn’t waste time promoting my books. I wouldn’t invest in cover art. I wouldn’t waste time with beta readers. I would just write whatever the hell made me happy.
But I want to put out work that other people enjoy. I want to put out work that people value. And the only way I can tell that people are valuing my stories is if they’re buying them. And if people aren’t valuing my stories, I’ll move on and write a different one.
To end today, please understand that I get the challenge. It is awful to have a story without an ending. And yes, if you jump on a new series right away, there’s a chance it might not have an ending. But if you never start, there’s even more of a chance that the story will never be able to end.

Broken Patterns is available now for preorder! You can order it now on Amazon.
Or, maybe re-read it. It is a relaunch, after all.
In Devon and Lenore’s world, magic is as common as turning a pot or fletching an arrow. What isn’t common is a man with thread magic. When Devon starts weaving prophetic tapestries, his royal family tries to keep it a secret.
But the family can’t stay in the shadows when Devon’s uncle is assassinated and he becomes second in line for the throne. Especially when he weaves a vision of destruction for the dragon lands.
Who is Broken Patterns for? It’s for people who love magic, dragons, and stories about people who don’t quite fit in. It’s a story about a boy who is clearly not his dad’s favorite, but holds within him the power to save a country. It’s the story of a young woman with the ability to bring light to the world, who has to fight against its darkest forces first. And, it has science wielding dragons. I cannot stress this enough, there are dragons doing science. I am so proud of that.
The journey from the start of this series to this point has been a wild one. It’s been ten years. Ten long years of learning, growing and watching the world catch fire around me. And I’ve never stopped being thankful for this story. I hope that you all love this new, updated version as much as I do.
Books go through several versions in the course of their lives. My books often look wildly different from rough drafts to finished products.
But once the book is out there in the world, the revisions might not be finished. Often different versions come out of the same story. For book collectors like me, this can be infuriating. I think we all have a few books that we consider to have ‘definitive’ versions. And sometimes those versions are just impossible to replace if something (cat) happens to them.
Or you get a copy of a book, and then you find out there’s another version that is so much cooler. But you already have one copy, and do you really need multiple copies of the same book? Then you decide it doesn’t hurt to have a few copies, and this is how you end up with five copies of Christmas Carol and not enough shelf space for this kind of foolish behavior.
There are several reasons a book might relaunch or come out with alternative copies. Some make a lot of sense, and some are regrettable. And if you are a self-published author, it’s something you might want to consider. Let’s talk about why.
Commemorative copies
Everyone loves anniversaries and milestone moments. Ten, fifteen and twenty-year anniversaries are a great time to relaunch a beloved book with a new forward, new cover, or extra content. Fans of books eat this sort of thing up, myself included.
While I wouldn’t necessarily do this for every book every ten years (that would be a lot) it can be a rewarding project for you to republish a book that’s meaningful to you on a big anniversary.
Movie and TV show tie-ins
I’ll be honest, this is my least favorite reason to relaunch a book. When content gets made into a show or movie, some wiseass in the promotional department usually suggests they relaunch the book with a new cover inspired by the new iteration. If I ever stumble upon a version of the Giver with the movie poster for its cover, I might set the damn thing on fire.
But, if you like the book and the movie, this might be fun for you. And if your story gets picked up for a movie or show, this could be fun.
New covers
Of course, sometimes covers just need to be redone. There are lots of reasons for this. While I love my covers for Seeming and You Can’t Trust The AI, they don’t match the rest of the series. Unfortunately, the fantastic artist who designed them wasn’t able to finish the series. And so I will, eventually, be relaunching that whole series with new covers that all match.
The other issue could be that the original covers are just bad. This isn’t usually anyone’s fault. I think we all want to give our books the best covers we can. But as we learn more, we can and should do better. I loved the cover for Station Central when I made it. But I think we can all agree that the one for Nova is a lot better.
Then, of course, there’s a situation like the one I’m in right now. I’m relaunching the Woven series, and one of the best things about that is giving them the new covers they’ve deserved for years.
And yes, a cover announcement is coming soon.
Expanded versions
Sometimes when books are traditionally published, they get cut by the editors because they’re just too damn long. Or maybe some scenes are perfectly fine, but offended someone’s sensibilities. Whatever the reason, sometimes good scenes get cut from books.
And sometimes, the writers this happens to get enough clout and respect to go back and correct those mistakes. This has happened with at least two books I enjoyed, The Stand and American Gods. I’ve read the original, and I’ve read the expanded versions. And I can honestly say I like the expanded versions better. But of course, when a book is good enough, it’s always too short.
New publisher
And of course, books will sometimes change publishers during their lives. Or international versions will come out under different publishers. Sometimes that means that someone else owns the artwork on the original cover. Sometimes it just needs updating for any of the above reasons and it’s just a convenient time to get it done. And sometimes the new publisher just wants to put their mark on the book, which is understandable. Marketing is important, after all, and building a brand is boring but crucial work if you want your company to continue to, you know, survive.
I’m sure I missed some reasons why a book might be relaunched. I’d love to hear about them in the comments. Or, if you know of a book that has one definitive version, let us know that as well.

August is now upon us. This is a liminal month here in Western PA, probably in other places. Signs of fall have started to pop up. Some leaves are beginning to turn, but most are still a vibrant green. The Steelers preseason is starting soon. Kids are going back to school. And while the days are still stifling hot, the nights are getting cooler. The days grow short, the nights grow long and my soul is coming alive.
Pumpkin spice is coming, my friends. Pumpkin spice is coming.
And while we’re all either soaking up the last weeks of summer or counting the days until chunky sweater weather, one thing remains the same. Nanowrimo will be with us before you realize it. And it’s time to get ready for Preptober. As such, I have updated my preptober planner for 2024.
This year’s version sports a new, darker color and updated coffee cups throughout the whole thing. More substantially, it includes two new planning pages.
Our first new page is a character injury page. I think we’ve all read or seen something in which a character is injured in one scene, only to be perfectly fine far too soon after. Was this done for convenience? Or did the author just forget about the injury?
The new planner page will help you avoid this. This includes a male and female presenting outline so that you can keep track of the bumps, bruises and breaks that your character suffers along the way.
Our second new page is a map page. I am a visual person. And it might surprise you to know that I often draw maps of my story locations so that I can keep track of things. Especially stories like Station 86, which included several levels of the space station that I needed to keep track of. I also had a map of the apartment building in Quiet Apocalypse so that I could remember who lived where and across from who.
These two pages bring us up to eleven total pages of planning goodness. You can print the planner out or just download it and write directly on the document. And while you could follow along with everyone planning on October, there is no reason you can’t get the planner now and begin your novel writing adventure.
I love this planner so much. Every year it gets better, in my humble opinion. You can get it right here now on Ko-fi for only $1.50.
Next month will mark the tenth anniversary of keeping this blog. Which is honestly astounding. I have been here almost ten years. In that time, I have moved three times, switched jobs, become a professional critic and gotten married.
Oh, and I’ve also published 12 books and produced two seasons of a sci-fi/horror podcast.
When I started Paper Beats World, it seemed like everyone had a blog. From teens talking teen things on Tumbler to the sea of mommy bloggers giving you recipes after boring you with the three-generational family history of their lemon squares, blogs were the hot ticket.
Now, they’re not. Now, everyone’s got either a YouTube channel or a podcast. There are so, so many podcasts. I hosted one about true crime, and I continue to write a fiction one.
And yet, I am still writing a blog after so many people have given up on them or switched to a different medium. Why? I don’t make money from this site. It takes roughly two hours a week to write, edit and post a blog. This is time I could be spending writing reviews, short stories or novels. I could be keeping up with my house, playing with Oliver or reading. So, why am I still here?
I don’t want to write a newsletter, do YouTube or start a podcast
Writers need platforms. They need a way for people to keep up with them. Otherwise, how will we know when their new books come out? I need a way to let all of you know what I have going on. And frankly, I don’t want to do it any other way.
I hate newsletters. When was the last time you actually opened a newsletter you subscribed to? Because I sure don’t. They sit in my inbox and I feel guilty for not reading them until I get tired of feeling guilty and delete them.
I really don’t want to do Youtube, because frankly, it seems like a lot more work than I need to add to my week. YouTube would mean I need to put on makeup, create a cute background and write a script instead of writing a blog post. Then, I’ve got to edit the damn thing. Oh, and I have to be careful of what I say, or the video will get demonetized or taken down.
Gross.
As for creating a podcast, this I have considered. It would just be me reading blogs out loud, to be honest. But I can see that being appealing and something I could keep up with. But again, that would include hours of audio editing that I don’t enjoy.
I still find blogging to be the best way to talk to people and the best way to consume content.
If I thought that creating content differently would be beneficial to you all, I’d consider it. I want the things I say to be accessible, and enjoyable. And maybe this is just me, but listening to a podcast where I’m supposed to learn something is often a pain in the ass. I’m often listening to them while cleaning, walking Oliver, or doing any number of things I don’t have a pen for. So if I want to write down a book title, a bit of clever dialog, or information about an herb, I have to pause the podcast until I can get to a pen and paper. It is so much easier for me to have a blog post to refer to when I have note-taking abilities.
I still like it
This is a big one for me. We all know there are things on our to-do list that we don’t want to do, we want to have done. Writing for this blog has never been one of those things for me. I’m still eager to sit down and write for all of you every week. It’s still fun for me. And seeing as how I want to throw as much joy in my life as possible, that’s important.
I want to do things I have fun doing. So, I’m still writing this blog.
I haven’t run out of things to say yet
And I doubt I ever will.
Living is a constant learning experience. And it should be. We are always learning innovative things about our craft. We learn things about the world around us. We learn things about ourselves. Very rarely have I considered what I was going to write about for the week and come up with nothing. There’s always some new book to talk about, some new writing revelation, or some new tool I just discovered.
There is always something new to talk about. And I love that.
It is the one platform I can control
Lots of writers lost an audience when Twitter sunk into the hole of self-important bullshit that is Musk. And I know it hurt some of those people. As I mentioned earlier, we have to have a way to let readers know what we’re doing. And for many of us, that is social media. But social media is fickle. Instagram is relying more and more on reels. YouTube has gone nuts with censorship issues. Threads is nice, for now.
While I still post on Threads, Instagram and Pinterest, the only platform I can be sure of is this one right here. I can post what I want when I want and I know that most of you will see it. If all of my social media was gone tomorrow, I would still be right here.
It keeps me accountable
Writers have a love/hate relationship with deadlines. I despise them, they make me anxious. And yet, I need them. I need them real bad.
With my fiction writing, I often don’t have a deadline. The story will get done when it’s done. And if I have to push it back, most people won’t even know, because I’m usually not stupid enough to announce a launch date until the project is finished.
But I have committed to be here most Fridays. I know that this is when I have to have a post up, and that people are expecting it. So if I just don’t feel like writing. If I’m dealing with burnout or depression, I have that little push to get me to my desk. And often, once I’m there to write a blog post, I start thinking of what I’d like to do with the next chapter of the book. Or a good piece of microfiction I want to write. Or an idea for a contest I didn’t think I was going to bother with.
Writing is often like that. Once you get the momentum started, it’s hard to stop. It’s just getting that momentum going in the first place that can be hard.
You’re still here
Finally, I’m still here because you’re still here. People show up every day to read something I wrote on this site. I still can’t believe it. But I hope that I’m helping you. Every day there’s a new person, or a returning one. I want to put something here that will be inspiring, or funny, or helpful. And so long as you all keep coming back, I’ll keep showing up. So thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for being here with me still.
Ten years ago, in 2014, I was not the same woman I am today. I wasn’t writing, hadn’t written for years. I had never actually finished a novel. I was depressed. I was working too much at a job that didn’t feed my soul. I didn’t like myself, didn’t like my life.
Then, I came up with a story about a boy who weaves visions and a girl who spins light.
This is not news to you if you’ve been here a minute. I talk about this every year, on the anniversary of the day I came up with Woven. I broke bread with the birds in the park and prayed that this story would live.
And it did.
Woven became my first published series. And I loved every second of writing it.
I could have theoretically published them again right when I got them back. But I had a new season of AA coming out, and then Nova came out. I wanted to prioritize the new over a relaunch.
But finally, finally, the time has come. And I am relaunching Woven.
Book one, Broken Patterns will be coming out September 6th. It’s the story of a kingdom in danger, of magic and spinning. It’s a story of dragons.
More release dates to come. I’ll be doing a pre-sale, of course, and as soon as I have the info I’ll let you know.
I am so excited to get Woven back out in the world. It’s a beautiful story and one that I am still very proud of. I can’t wait to be able to share it again with all of you.
If you’ve never experienced living with someone with a chronic illness, it can be a struggle. There’s a lot to balance. And it takes a significant toll emotionally. But it’s something that plenty of people deal with every day. And if you want to have a creative career while caring for someone with a chronic illness, you can do it. You should do it. You deserve to do it. And today, we’re going to take another look at how I do it.
Decide how much or how little you want to share about this journey
Part of being a creative content creator in 2024 is having an online presence. And at least some of that online presence is probably going to be about your real life.
Mostly this consists of fun, happy things. We share content about our pets, our homes, and our writing process. We show pictures of our coffee and book signing. One author I follow shares videos of her cat using talk buttons. Another shows food pics. I like to show my tarot decks and library hauls. And, of course, pictures of my cats and dog.
Another author I follow shares info about her books and YouTube videos. She shares pictures of her adorable dog. And sometimes, she talks about her husband’s chronic illness.
It makes me feel like I’m not alone. And I love her for that. It is because of her that I decided to write this post. Her name is Jenna Moreci. She writes fantasy romance.
I bet that a lot of people I follow are also living with chronic illness. Or they have a partner who has a chronic illness. They never talk about it. Jenna doesn’t talk about it much. I don’t talk about it much either.
We don’t owe that part of ourselves to the internet. We don’t owe any part of ourselves to the internet.
When it comes to your family, how much or how little you share online is up to you and your family. Please don’t ever feel pressured to share more than you want. But if you want to share, that’s okay too.
Accept help when you can
It’s easy to feel like we’ve got to do everything ourselves. Society sure as hell tells us we should. We see people who are working full time, with immaculate homes and homemade meals.
I’m sorry, but that just isn’t real life. And when your partner has a chronic illness, you’ve got a lot of pressure on you.
It’s not just that you’re dealing with their illness and whatever demands that makes on your time and energy. It’s also that the care of the home and family will fall all on you more often than it would if your partner was able-bodied. Housework is work.
If you have a support system, let them help you. Let someone grab your groceries for you. Let a sibling take your partner to a doctor’s appointment if you don’t have time.
The darling husband and I don’t have a lot of family. For a long time, I felt like I had to take care of him, the house and the pets by myself. Over time, I’ve realized that this is unsustainable. So I started having our groceries delivered. We order in when we need to. And I lean on my friends for emotional support. I tell them when I’m struggling. I tell them when I’m scared. And that’s sometimes all that I need, just someone to listen to how hard this day was.
Ask for help when you need it. Accept help when it’s offered. You do not need to do everything by yourself.
Take care of you
I know that taking care of yourself takes time. And time is the thing you probably have the least of. But you have got to care for yourself.
Make doctor’s appointments, even if you’re sick to death of doctors. Get rest, even when you have a million things to do. Take care of yourself, eat good food, drink water, and take your meds if you’ve been prescribed meds.
We have to keep ourselves healthy or we won’t be able to care for our partner. So take good care of yourself.
Art can save us in our darkest hours.
So why would you still want to write when your partner has a chronic illness? With all the other demands on your time, why still put this extra burden on yourself?
I can’t answer that for you. But I can tell you why I still do it.
Art has saved my sanity. While parts of the writing game feel burdensome, the act of writing never has. Whether I’m writing a blog post, a review, a chapter of my novel or a short story, writing is always great. Creating is always great. Through writing, I can have a voice that I might otherwise be denied. It allows me to process my emotions. It allows me to face my demons on the page. It allows me to breathe. I do not think I would have survived the last ten years without my writing.
That’s all I can think of for now, advice-wise. If I think of other things I might do a follow-up. But now I want to hear what you think. Do you have a partner who has a chronic illness? Do you have a chronic illness that you manage while writing? Let us know in the comments.

I didn’t mean for this post to be late today, but it does kind of fit into the theme.
My husband has several chronic illnesses. I don’t want to go into details because that’s not my story to tell. Suffice it to say that caring for his health is a full-time job for him and a part-time job for me.
If you’ll recall, I also have a full-time job, as well as trying my damndest to have a writing career.
Having a partner with chronic illness is a journey. It’s difficult to watch someone you love suffer. It’s terrifying to come close to losing them. It’s hard to make plans for the day, let alone the future when you just have no way of knowing how their health is going to be from day to day. Some days he’s fine, some days he can’t get out of bed. Some days he goes to the hospital.
There are countless books and blogs about living with a partner with a chronic illness. That’s not what I’m here today to talk about, that’s way out of my lane. What I do want to talk about is maintaining a creative career while caring for a loved one with a chronic illness. Because it’s what I’ve been doing for almost ten years now.
You do not have to keep writing for an audience
Let’s just get this out of the way first. If you don’t want to keep writing for anyone but yourself. I don’t care if you are in the middle of a series. I don’t care if people are waiting with bated breath on the cliffhanger of a lifetime. I don’t care if you’re Stephen King. If Tabitha King suddenly took a nose dive health wise I would light a candle for her and expect to never see another King book.
The people you love will always be more important than any success you might find in this world. If you don’t have the physical or mental bandwidth to create for days, weeks, or even years at a time, that is okay. You don’t owe your art to anyone. Everything else in this post is for people who want to keep going.
Don’t feel guilty
That being said, you do not need to feel guilty if you want to keep writing. My writing career has gotten me through some very dark moments. Having work that I was passionate about has given me something to focus on when I felt useless. It gives me something that is for me. And we all deserve something that is for us. We all need something that is for us.
Be realistic about how much you can take on.
I might seem like the worst person to talk about this. I’m working on a sci-fi series, a podcast series, multiple short stories, writing for this blog, and writing reviews on Haunted MTL. And yes, sometimes that is too much. That’s why this post came out in the afternoon instead of in the morning.
But let’s be fair, there’s always more I could be doing. Things I’d like to do. I’d like to create audiobooks. I’d like to write a serialized story on Wattpad. I’d like to make a true crime podcast series, enter more contests, write more short stories, do more micro-fiction on social media. I want to do so much more than I realistically can do.
Here’s what I suggest. Make a list of everything you want to do. All the projects you would love to work on. Take your time.
Then, list all of your projects from the ones you most want to do to the least.
I keep a whole list on Notion at all times. Sometimes projects drop off the list, and sometimes more get added. But I’m always putting my energy on the top priorities of that list. So if I can only get one thing done, it’s at least the most important thing.
Learn to write in strange places
I am so blessed to have an office in my home. I use it to work from home and write my stories and I love it. It’s bursting with light, colors, art and books. I have ample desk space, a comfortable chair and a place for all my pens.
I don’t always get to write there, though. I have gotten very good at writing in waiting rooms and hospitals. I have written in a notebook balanced on my knees in an uncomfortable plastic chair. I have written on my laptop, sitting on an emergency room couch and trying not to think of what sort of fluids that couch might contain. I’ve written in cafeterias, on patios, with bad cups of coffee and the same Lipton tea every hospital seems to have.
Because of this, I’ve always kept a writer’s bag. I can do an updated post about this if you’d like. I don’t go anywhere without a notebook and pen. Even if I don’t know I’m going to be stuck somewhere for a time and might as well do some writing, I might suddenly get stuck somewhere and be inspired to write a little short fiction.
Be flexible
This one sort of goes along with the last piece of advice.
When you’re dealing with a chronic illness, things cannot always go to plan. This is true for most of us anyway. Washing machines break. People call off at work so you have to go cover for them. The power goes out. The internet goes out. People with chronic illness and their families aren’t immune to these things. We just have that extra hurdle of health to consider. I might be right on pace to meet a deadline, or get a blog post out in time, and suddenly get waylaid because a health concern took precedence.
This is why it’s important to under-promise when it comes to deadlines. Whether you’re working with a publisher or just setting a deadline of your own. If you think something’s going to take a week, plan for two. Trust me, no one is ever angry that you beat a deadline.
You have to be ready for your day to not look how you expected it to look, and roll with it. Trust me, I hate this. This is not where I thrive. I thrive when everything happens exactly how my Google calendar says it’s supposed to happen. I am mentally prepared for that, I have supplies and snacks for that. But we don’t always get to live the day we planned for. We have to live the day we have.
I have a lot more to say about this topic, but we’re running long as it is and this post is late as it is. So I’ll be doing part two next week. See you then.

Man in The Woods is now available on Smashwords and almost everywhere!
Having my books available to as many people as possible is very important to me. And I know this one took some time, but I am so glad to see Man in The Woods no longer bound to one place.
And, the timing couldn’t be better. Because, in case you missed it on my social media, Smashwords is currently having its Summer Sale. And yes, Man in The Woods is included.
I hope that you get a chance to get your hands on Man in The Woods, my eerie little woods story. This story was so important to me, and I love seeing other people enjoy it.
And by the way, this isn’t the last launch of 2024. Stay tuned, I have a lot of exciting things on the way.
