New work is hard
Actually it's more, new characters are hard. It is a new work and all new characters and it isn't an easy thing to wrap my malfunctioning brain around.

Notes
The last week or so has been all about notes. My notes. I've been coming up with different ways to teach the same subject. Fresher text. It was time. Or I'm procrastinating like the pro I am. It was time to tackle tired text and revamp it. Tidy it all up a bit, make it … Continue reading Notes
