(schmaltz incoming)
6 years ago today I published the first chapter of I Damn Well Mean to Try. Over half a decade and approximately 96k words later I genuinely can’t imagine what life would be like if I hadn’t subjected my WoL to a silly rom-com trope and tripped her down the stairs into the arms of her love interest.
I know I’d love FFXIV without this ship, but having these two at the center of my creative life for over half a decade has made this game & world all the more important to me. I am extremely thankful to them for that, and for you folks. Ultimately we write for ourselves, but there’s no way I’d be where I am creatively without the encouragement, excitement and inspiration from friends & readers.
So...thank you!
