I am officially "retired" from freelance ghostwriting and content writing starting immediately.

Why the quotation marks? Because "retired" implies I actually made money and sounds better than "got tired of going to people who asked for my help and then kicked me in the balls."

But more is needed, and I've got one stretch goal (so far) to entice you.

Capitalism is not designed to help you succeed. It is designed to extract value from your attempts to succeed.

Well it took me long enough, but I finally figured out what exactly the big bads are up to in my Arkham Season One serial. I wanted to do a twist on the old "let's summon one of the Great Old Ones" trope. I don't think anyone will see it coming. I certainly didn't.
Better late than never, I say.

Episode 10 edited. I also did a final pass on "99 Luftballoons" for the Jukebox Thrillers anthology and sent that to the editor.

Who has two thumbs and just pounded out another 1402 words to finish the Jukebox Thrillers story? Me, that's who.
4,635 words in total between Friday and Monday. Next up is a story about Saturn's moon Titan for another anthology. Onward.

Episode 2 of the serial has been edited and a section of it rewritten because I realized I needed to introduce the big bad earlier in the story. Still awaiting the cover. Once that's done episode one goes up for Free on Patreon, Royal Road, and Substack. Now on to episode 3.
