So I basically haven’t written regularly since, like, early February, when I was finishing up the short stories for And Then I Shall Transform.

…The other thing I seem to be really good at doing on a regular basis is forgetting lessons I have already learned. This week, in Things Amy Did But Should Have Known Better, more amines! I stumbled across this post from last year on the weekend, and was like, yup, definitely used to be smarter
