i think i've heard you mention it before but weren't you writing like short stories when you were younger just like putting words to a page or like where did this really all kind of start for you uh

i was um yeah i wrote a short story of fourth grade my mom actually brought me a copy of it Called Zombie Child.

And she found...

I think she photocopied it and kept it because she was concerned about my mental state after reading it.

But I'm going to have to publish it in my newsletter at some point.

So people can see.

That was like the first thing I wrote.

But like, I don't really know if there's any kind of like you're saying there's, there's no way to really sort of, um perfect it it just kind of happens the way that it does however do you feel like do you like when you do arcs as an example do you have like a schedule or a timing like a timeline that you try to like hit that arc before the release date such that it you know gets kind of ramped into reviews as the release approaches or do you just kind of send it out
