I’ve started to write a book in a different series while my first book is on sub! It happens to have a ticking clock. Great article to read by @reneefountain.bsky.social for those whose characters have a set amount of time to accomplish something!

Let us know after you’ve updated it!!

Well this was fascinating! Never would have suspected Pinterest could be so valuable.
