I haven’t touched W&T in two months. Stalled out at 60%.

I’d rather be reading Crossdreams of Twiknife, the eleventy-third book of Times of the Weaving Wheel.

Text Stylized in a fashion that looks similar to 80 and early 90s fantasy book title typography. Mostly parodying The Wheel of Time. There is a small bubble with additional text to the right.

It reads: Crossdreams of Twiknife
In the bubble: Guys, did something just happen with Saidin?

I posted my Ko-Fi link just under 10 hours ago, and I woke up to find it at 147% funded. I don’t have the words. I was scared and sick and overwhelmed, and now I’m even more overwhelmed, but in the best way. Thank you for your generosity and your hearts. 💜
