I actually really do love going back and editing! Usually I wait until the very end but I really didn't like the way this chapter went so I'm going to need to rethink it lol

It's ok to hate what you've written.

It's more important to get words on the page and weed out what you don't like so you can create something better.

I'll be working on rewriting this whole section tonight.

Just remember that you GOT this and your book will be amazing.

Relief of a Disciple

A classical interpretation of Rhulk's transformation. sponsored by @apotheca-moth.bsky.social 🔺🤍

An image reminiscent of the ecstasy of Saint Theresa, but it features Rhulk's visitation and first rebirth by the witness. It is also interpreted as his final death, and the eye above them and godly rays from the original as tears.

I don't normally post about this kind of stuff but here is the paper authored about Tylenol & here's an interview with the co-author.

They say there's a "correlation" but that doesn't mean there's "causation," and more research needs done. So for anyone who says Tylenol causes it, get bent for now.
