Update #4: More Delays & A Few Changes
Hello, everyone! Sorry for not saying this sooner, but I won’t be posting any story snippets this week. I’ve unfortunately run into a bit of writers block and everything I’ve been trying to write hasn’t come out the way I was hoping it would. The point of this site is to have a place to…
