Officially, The Project Is Over We always broke down our first (of many, I promise) book as a play in Three Acts: The Courtship - All the preparation in quiet like rewriting everything, playtesting everything, finding and optioning talent to help... flirting with the idea of "could we, can we?"

It's been fantastic shooting for the goal and crossing that finish line, and while we'll be taking a break from that content for a bit we won't... Continue Reading →
