Day Three in the 2022 Rewind
Feels weird looking back on something I've just recently published, but to be fair, I was done in September.

My first male heavy cast. I mean, it's a full cast, but all the girls minus Chibs have small parts. Even The Return of Sailor V, with the guys in it, had a more female makeup than this.
It was fun writing them! I enjoyed exploring them in the more uncle-like roles. Neph during the liftoff scene is one if my favorite parts.
And having the freedom to really go nuts with her imagination was great. If I didn't want to write a scene, we just faded back to reality. 🤣
Originally, I tried to write this in 1st person, but I found very quickly that it was terribly awkward and almost impossible in some parts. Third person, past tense is definitely my comfort zone. 😅 One of these days I'll tackle a 1st person narrative, but nothing this long for sure.
Circling back, I was really proud of myself this getting done so early. I'm usually on the struggle bus when it come to meeting the October deadline. Which is WHY it was extra funny they extended it this year. I've been bouncing on my heels waiting to post.
So that's it for my year in writing. I do still have my two pieces of art to share for the SSMB2022. But you must wait a bit longer.
