Definitely the most difficult part.

I fell in a hole. Well, I fell in the hole more than a year ago, but I recently lost progress in my climb out. The storm hits in ten days and there's nothing I can physically or mentally do to stop it, because my stress intolerance is kicking in hard and shutting me down.

If you're a patron at any tier that gets my ebooks, there might be something waiting for you on Patreon =] Happy reading! And if you're not, did you know that patrons get ebooks and audiobooks early? www.patreon.com/kvalenagle

I did a thing. I wrote up some "making of" content for Poison Dogs. It feels good while also feeling really arrogant. I'm excited to share the crazy origins of Poison Dogs with people, but I feel conceited for thinking anyone will be interested. Is that normal?

I'm so tired. Finished my two programming interviews. I did better than I expected and worse than I needed to. Now it's the waiting game to hear back about whether I'm worthy. On the one hand, I'm not recovered enough for the work. On the other - I really need insurance and, you know, income.

I'm very open to this kind of email. Especially right now! Hint dropped?

I think this earns you a treat.

Fun fact: I have spent 109 hours editing Poison Dogs so far. That's about 4 seconds per word. Can't wait for my brain to get better!

This is how I feel about the word "torture".
